That is why I approve the voter turnout. The amount of people who vote is approximately the amount of people who know about politics and give enough of a shit. People who don't know generally don't vote.

i think those people are very susceptible to despicable, anti-patriotic, fear-mongering acts regularly begin paraded as "common fair," in our current political situation.


Rostov,
that is very interesting! honestly, i think a system of education is the fundamental to the proper selection of government heads. what i mean is, in an ideal government you would earn your right to vote, and also have the right to have the means to educate yourself and prepare yourself to earn your right to vote.

im talking, if you would like to vote, Government Military or Civil service (postal, fire, education, health care, law enforcement) of at least 2 years starting at the entry level (for all persons.) There would also be exams of comprehension about any given party platform, specific law, policies and statistical figures of statesmen, etc.

The government would ideally give a person all the time needed to study for these tests, with work paid vacation to cover the time, as well as study materials (most efficiently in the form of digital software distribution as well as the hardware to support it.) Audits on those applying for particularly long times would stay off corruption.

the content of the exams would vary depending on the subject, and ideally would be written by reputable scientists, mathematicians, psycists, sociologists, and other masters of their fields, sworn to to remain unpartisan and held accountable for doing so.



wow, what a tangent, eh? utopia! utopia! haha
