With elections, the reverse, thoughtfulness rather than
obedience, should yield better outcomes.



Right to vote should be linked to paying direct taxes, with a few
exceptions. Only those paying Council Tax ( actually paying it) should be
permitted to vote in Local Elections. For National elections, paying income
tax.



Hey, lets use colour of skin as another reason, perhaps gender as another.

HAM radio enthusiasts must also be banned from voting for their
fanatical and unsociable attributes.
