Voting: must be over 21, have a job that pays over 25k (aka not minimum wage) and must take an informational course on who the parties are and their agendas. Yes i know i live in la la land.
Only in la la land in the sense that the politicians, especially the left leaning ones want as many stupid and poor people as they can get because that's where the vote goes. We'll never see it happen.
I struggled with this one. I too included it and was super brief. But here are my dilemmas
Age: I believe with teenagers eating tide pods these days ,18 is too young. However what about a 17 year old who is educated, intelligent, and should be voting. That's why I left it out.
Job: Strongly agree, but disagree with the limit. What about a stay at home mom, she wouldn't vote? I think a good compromise is within a married couple or for an individual if unmarried, you must have been tax positive at least once in the past 4 years before election, that is to say you have paid the government at least a dollar in taxes. That starts after the personal limit of about $11k + whatever deductions. Doesn't exclude poor people, but it does exclude the generational parasites.
IQ: Honestly it all boils down to stupid people voting. I don't think we should take away their vote, we should just reward smart people more. For example 1 vote if you can check a box, another vote if you can name a policy of who you voted for, another vote if you can do a simple math problem and one last vote if you can get current event question.
There's nothing racist or sexist about it but it checks if you know what you're voting for, if numbers are thrown at you, you understand them and if you know what's going on around the world.
If this was implemented Trudeau wouldn't have won. People who are able to do simple math would have seen his budgetary spending that would "pay itself off" was a load of shit and if they kept up with current events they'd have seen the true shit show mass immigration has created in Europe.
