Universal Suffrage Is Archaic And Needs To Go

[Odinson]

What a lame dictatorship.

I understand



I would be a great, kind and efficient "benevolent dictator" if any countries are interested

We would be cc la femme.

That's insane.



Instead of extending the vote, it should be constrained. No non-taxpaying parasites. No-one convicted of an indictable crime. No Government employees, or those employed in any capacity by the Government. Age increased to 21.



MP's get 2 terms, tops, then return to whatever rock they crawled out from. President elected directly by the people (a la American). Ministers appointed by the Prez.



MP's who fail to adhere to their oath can be recalled by a petition signed by 10% of the electorate.



Bureaucrats can be voted out if they perform below public expectations, or are simply not warranted.

The problem with everyone votes is that idiots like Gary Joak or EU are given as much say in the matter as Aristotle. So universal suffrage is robust, but flawed. It's a great transitional method of government, because it's relatively difficult to corrupt and requires relatively minimal levels of attention to ensure everything is on the level (Or at least within a kilometre of sea level). But at the end of the day, you're leaving the rule of the land to the ignorant masses.



Now I'm not saying that the masses are stupid, I'm saying they're ignorant. And it's not really their fault. Quick: What's your nation's budget distribution? What's Canada's five biggest trade partners? What's the interest paid on the debt?

We should have a progressive voting system with multiple votes for some people. The higher your income the more votes you would get. Students and those on EI would earn more votes than greedy doctors, architects and CMA's.
