This is the gist of my opinion.
Though, in order to make democracy work better, there should be a mandatory test for everyone that checks how well you know your history, politics, what the political parties stand for and how different decisions could impact the state before being allowed to vote.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
