Voting Rights

Should Britain introduce a system to ensure people can vote wisely?

I give you a nomination of why this should be considered:

I rest my case

The man could have been charged with: 'Wasting Police resources' and in my view should have been!!!

Re: Voting Rights

Well you have a point only problem would be who decides who can vote ?

Re: Voting Rights

Well I vote not him! The man is a fool and shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a ballot paper

Re: Voting Rights

Let's face it they want to give the vote to people in prison, I though the whole of going to prison was to punish them.

Re: Voting Rights

If politicians accepted why people don't vote and then did something about it, then they wouldn't want to give the vote to those who shouldn't have it.

Re: Voting Rights

I know but it did raise a good point, we let anyone vote it seems and many I wouldn't trust to manage to cross the road unaided, so why let them decide who governs us ?
