should thick people be allowed to vote?

You gotta pass a driving test before you can drive a car so do you think people should have to do a basic test before they can vote?

I've seen it all me, fish wives in pubs voting for the candidate who looks the most 'dishy', and working class people voting Tory and buying the Sun...
 
Well, part of me says "hell yeah" and another part of me wants to point a finger accusingly and start screeching.

In the end, the biggest problem with democracy is that I have the same say so as, for example, my racist uncle. This is why it doesn't work properly.

Perhaps we need some sort of intellectual grading system, equivalent to the old american system where a black vote was worth one eighth of a white vote?

Little tip, Trev.

As a leftist of some stripe or another, seems to me you're rather pissing on your own doorstep. Judging by most of your posts on here, you seem to reserve the greater part of your anger and contempt for the very people you claim to ally yourself with. You never miss a trick to insult, criticise, disparage and attack the working classes, the undereducated, the proles who still suffer from false consciousness.

May I be so bold as to suggest that for the greater good of whatever social reform you seem to think you're in favour of, you might rethink your approach a tad?
 
The problem is that most of the lower socio-economic classes (who are probably less well-educated on the whole altho i accept that this is far from being the case across the board) don't use their votes at all. Thus, self-serving politicians aim their policies towards those nicely cushioned in the middle income brackets as they're the ones who will decide whether or not they're elected again.
 
i don't think drunk fat birds who smoke roll ups, wear trousers and expect to get into nightclubs, should be allowed to vote

Trev you seem to be one of the most confused right wingers ever on Urban.
Not quite sure if your trying to be ironic or funny on most of your posts?

But how about this as one of the questions on a test.

Do you think that politics should be left to clever people?

If they say yes then basically like you there Tory scum and the rest of us will know they are the enemy.
 
hoorah - no vote for the working classes

Nah i meant the ones who buy the Sun

Or maybe i was being sarcastic all along.

Maybe we should build aanother hardrians wall level with Watford and any Tories could go and live down there under a selfish government and any decent people from dahn south can move up here and we'll have a progressive govt. How about that!

Can't really apply the same logic to the 2nd one but you can't argue with the other 2 i reckon

I can, and I have. It was futile :)

But generally, I'd say people holding other members of the class they identify with in contempt are probably backing a loser politically
