1) What level would you set the bar at in terms of a cognition test for being able to vote?
2) I don't understand that point. We were just saying that the content of the education matters and that bad education is no use. Are you saying that no matter how good and relevant the content of a course (designed specifically to make good voters) it would be useless? If not, then do you think passing such a course would be a good criteria for the franchise?
3) OK. I'm happy to scrap that one of the list of criteria.
4) What do you mean by good at voting? How are you measuring that? And do you not think that if everyone was even more heartless, stupid, immature, and ignorant, then voting would be even worse?
