Everytime I see arguments like these, I always tell such people one thing: Imagine that roles are switched - Imagine that somebody - somebody you don´t probably even know - says you are too stupid or uneducated to vote. Its really easy to now say: âOnly people with finished high school and with perfect mental health should be allowed to vote, for the good of our societyâ. It sounds reasonable right? Only such people know what is good for their country, it makes sense to do it this way.
But when another important referendum or elections will end up in way that is not comfortable with men in power, you may suddenly find out that rules have changed. âOnly college degree graduates are now allowed to voteâ. Well they are the elite of our country, certainly they will know best what to do, right?
4 years later, another elections ends with uncomfortable results and suddenly: Only economic and society studies graduates with 3 years of experience in relevant work positions are now allowed to vote and there is minimum IQ of 130 to vote.
Suddenly, only those already in power will have the right to change direction of your country - and suddenly you have absolutory dictatorship, and it only took 3 major elections. Great job smart people!
