What does Sup Forums think of the idea of weighted voting?
So the old folk have shafted Britain yet they won't be around long enough to see the consequences. This not very fair.
At the other end of the spectrum young people under the age of 21 are too ignorant and inexperienced to be worthy of a full vote.
Weighted voting:
Age 18-21 one vote = 0.75 votes
Age 60-70 one vote = 0.75 votes
Age 70+ one vote = 0.5 votes
>Democracy is shit when I don't get my way
Tough shit nigger. Should've stayed a fucking monarchy then.
I wanted BREXIT. But that's not the point.
An IQ test would be better.
Some animals are more equal than others
Gerrymandering is shit and you should fuck off.
>more equal
>t. American on vacation
How many votes would my gf get?
>not getting the reference
>t. an actual american
you do know that's an Animal Farm quote, right?
...
can you even call that democracy?
We are a monarchy. We just objected to being ruled over by unelected Germans.
To add on to this, proving that you have general knowledge of the issues at hand would be nice. It would eliminate the niggers from voting in America so that wold be a net plus.
Remove voting. Let specialists run the government.
You don't vote about what to do when you have cancer, you go see a doctor. The common man is a fool.
>american education
read some classics f a m
you dont even have to read them nowadays, just get some audiobook thingy and listen to them on the subway
You would be content voting yourself some more of their money, no?
From the same country as you, Ah Beng al-Malaya.
Then you essentially surrender to the libertarians. High IQ but low on common sense
This would be ideal in a utopia
It's been at least ten years since I read that.
>old folk have shafted Britain
Proofs?
Lets turn it around. Since the old folks have paid the most taxes and therefore have contributed more.
Age 18-21 one vote = 0.25 votes
Age 60-70 one vote = 1.1 votes
Age 70+ one vote = 1.1 votes
Have fun.
its an iconic saying that is invoked pretty often, both on here and in the real world
Thats the system we have now. There is a group of specialist, who (should) have opinion how to rule the country. People elect them.
I think we should weight voting by party. People not voting for the right party get 0 votes.

They joined the EU.
The young shafted themselves by sitting at home and not voting for their interest. This is what they deserve.
Old people wanted to change something instead of voting for the status quo. That's a good thing.

Who makes these fucking images. Complete utter brainless manipulative fucktards, any ideas posted with blatant lies like this added to them should be discarded.
should be based of education(not just stem, but no bachelor's in basketweaving bullshit), civil accomplishment, and maybe wealth
>try to use the age = wisdom argument
>then turn around and try to claim that old people are short sighted
So basically, you only want the demographic that agrees with you to be allowed to vote, and are happy to engage in doublethink in order to accomplish that.
No voting
>What does Sup Forums think of the idea of weighted voting?
Only if it means the fatter you are the more your vote is worth.
I don't think you guys realaize that there never will be a lasting perfect government or utopia. Humans are animals with faults and nothing aside from literally making us no longer humans will fix it.
Maybe a government run by a AI, but even if a perfect state was created, the creators and followers will eventually die and corruption takes over.

And what's the problem with libertarianism?
no STEM or trade = 0.00 votes
None of these people were saying anything when UKIP got shafted at the General Election.
So rich people who have contributed the most
Millionaires one vote = 1.5 votes
Billionaires one vote = 2 votes
or is that like what we already have ; )
Irish are too ignorant to vote so how about they get none.
I preferred fighting to the death, strength means more to me than knowledge. It's human nature to take what you want and slaughter anything you don't.
>I wanted BREXIT
>So the old folk have shafted Britain
Kill yourself you faggot shill.
>more equal
Learn English stupid.
Why stop there? The Jews are the most intelligent members of society, and are a core part of academia.
Blacks - 3/5 vote
Whites - 1 vote
Jews - 2 votes
>shafted
I hope you have cancer
I want BREXIT for united Ireland you stupid fucking leaf
Shafted is what he said, genius. First day on Sup Forums?
A fucking leaf
They won't leave the UK because the EU doesn't want them without the UK
They did the opposite to us OP with the Lisbon Treaty 2.0 by tricking the old people to giving the "right answer
Fuuuuuuuuck. No. One man one vote, fuck this weighted shit.
fake quote
Your just mad because your opinion wasen't the popular one. Democracy m8
I think only White males who are not cucks should be allowed to vote. Solves all the problems.
Come now goy, restrict your own voting rights.
>2050 only billionaires are allowed to vote
But we are in the EU. NI voted remain. Join us and they remain in the EU
Old people are more reasonable and wiser than those naive female welcome clappers
>some millenials don't vote because they dont know what the eu is or don't care
>old people make their vote count because they know what the eu is and want to make a difference
Why can't the elites just stop being corrupt instead?
*Belgians
Jefferson never said that.
that image is really bad because it shows like a hundred people going after 1 person, so that is 1% vs 99% not 51-49
also if 51% of people want to enslave 49% by taking away their rights its going to be difficult to do since the fight is so balanced
the real reason America is a republic is because of the time it was created, the country was too large and there was no way to communicate or travel quickly
Fuck off.

>I define what qualifies as common sense
I personally believe people from an ethnic minority, who are most likely to be oppressed and spapegoated by the White majority, should be allowed greater representation than the average White voter. Whether it's mixing things up so their votes count as two votes instead of one, or automatically registering the non-voters in their community with the party most people from their ethnic background voted for (many might be scared to go to the polling station due to racist taunting etc). Something needs to change. We simply can't allow the largely middle-class male demographic ruin things any more. Our time is clearly up. We have to step aside.
This seems like a terrible idea. You're giving more franchise to the people who are least immediately impacted by decisions, and everyone knows almost none of the people complaining about the young getting shafted by BREXIT actually care about long-term consequences.
>those naive female welcome clappers
But there are mostly young students which is why I only gave them 0.75 votes too. Maybe we should increase the age so 18-24 only get .75 votes
How about:
18-25 one vote = 0.0 votes
50-65 one vote = 1.5 votes
65+ one vote = 2.0 votes
People like him won't be able to leech off true producers anymore
good contribution mate. you can have 0.85 votes
these faggots tried that in occupy wallstreet
remember stacked progression or whatever those loony fucks came up with
where minority protesters got to speak longer and more often cause white people or some shit
What about 25-50's? You retarded bro?
...
Isn't it why we set up systems so that the mob can't abuse the system against minorities?
I'm pretty sure the fear of the tyranny of the majority has been fixed. It's a flaw of democracy but it's not one without any solutions.
They get one vote like normal.
they should get 10 votes in total.
-----------> The joke

The way that I see this is old people lived through the EU experiment at its birth and saw what it lead to and wanted out, while the young voters are stupid and just accepted the naive early view of the EU helping trade deals.
I don't know why we even allow people to get old
it really hasn't been fixed
new problems pop up, and they linger
It was women and blacks, and just recently it was gays. The US just recently ruled in that marriage discrimination is illegal. Do you think that was the moment where we "fixed" the problem for all time?
Anyone who receives government funds (government workers, pensioners, welfarites), or whose employer receives government contracts loses their right to vote.
Why? Because it's a conflict of interest
Voting is not a right. Voting is a privilege, it's something a person needs to be qualified for.
We already restrict felons, kids, and mentally deficient people from voting. We need to expand that principle and only allow those who have achieved a high standard to vote.
What should those standards be? That should be debated
I agree that age group is the best age for well thought out votes.
>Rule Britannia
All votes are equal or there are no votes.
Too old and too young people shouldn't be able to vote. I'd make the cut off at 25 and 70
Better idea:
agrees with hitler: 1 vote
disagrees with hitler: 0 votes
It's nazi germany with the self indulgence of our current democracy
>what it lead to
what did it lead to? These people have had the comfiest lives ever, retired, no mortgage, live in houses worth 10 times what they paid, and are sitting on fat pensions.
Checked and keked
>Old people are a drain on society
So under your plan, Donald Trump would lose the right to vote
You're fucking mad
I don't see how marriage discrimination being illegal is bad.
>It was women and blacks, and just recently it was gays.
The thing with democracy is that it was only reserved for those with land and money. This is why women could vote so long as they had either. The feminist suffragette was bullshit, and was more people trying to obtain actual democracy over feminism shit.
The US is also not a democracy.
The American system is not a democracy. It is a constitutional republic. A democracy, if you attach meaning to terms, is a system of unlimited majority rule; the classic example is ancient Athens. And the symbol of it is the fate of Socrates, who was put to death legally, because the majority didn’t like what he was saying, although he had initiated no force and had violated no one’s rights.
Democracy, in short, is a form of collectivism, which denies individual rights: the majority can do whatever it wants with no restrictions. In principle, the democratic government is all-powerful. Democracy is a totalitarian manifestation; it is not a form of freedom . . . .
The American system is a constitutionally limited republic, restricted to the protection of individual rights. In such a system, majority rule is applicable only to lesser details, such as the selection of certain personnel. But the majority has no say over the basic principles governing the government. It has no power to ask for or gain the infringement of individual rights.
why stop even there? The canadians are the most skilled members of the human species, so
Canadian - 5 votes
Bad trade deal, lack of authority over its own land, the fear of not losing its culture.
The EU, after 40+ years, didn't become as great as it could have been. It's just that simple.
Although I like to think this is the real reason

>we joined the EU to destroy it
I agree - in parts.
Should be directly proportional to age and taxes paid.
Thus, people with more life experience, and which contribute more financially to the state administration, should have greater decision-making participation.
Garbage idea.
Here's what SHOULD be done:
People register for the group they want to vote for.
There is an interview stage of kind, decided by that group (it can be anything from automatic acceptance to computerized tests to personal interviews). This decides whether your registration for the group is accepted or not. A set minimum number of voters must be accepted at this stage.
Accepted voters are then cross-examined by all other parties, which must select a certain number of voters to accept within an interval.
The intersection of all accepted voters is the set of people who are allowed to vote for this election.
The result is that people whose mind cannot be changed will not be allowed to vote on either side. Parties CANNOT choose only blind sheeps, or no other party will accept them as voters.
There are still flaws in this system, but it's significantly better than what's available now and your proposal.
It doesn't really matter in burger land anyway. All someone has to do to win anything in America is get a few buzz words together and say shit louder than the opponent. Mix that with the loudest candidate having a look of self entitlement on their face when shouting and that's it, the majority will just CLAP like fucking seals and...
>WHOOOOOP! MURIKA YEAH!
Votes should be proportional to the amount of taxes you pay.
Shit idea. See: terrence tao. I can tell you from first-hand experience that he isn't an isolated case at all.
We kind of have the same thing here, where a vote from northern Norway weighs more than a vote from the south.
