Today I’ve got this Issue on my Nationstates (nationstates.net)
Democracy Going To The Dogs?
After a recent election installed a small dog as a member of parliament, the fringe group “Brains for Ballots” has demanded for the government to tighten voting restrictions.
I’ve encountered with 2 choices
1. “The ignorant have taken over NATIONSNAME,” yells Charles McGuffin, from atop a soap box podium. “It is time that the intelligent retake the polls! Mr. ‘Scruffy’ is a disgrace to democracy and should be taken out of office instantly! I propose we issue mandatory I.Q. tests for every voting citizen and if they are found to have below average reasoning ability – namely lacking the foresight to see that electing an inanimate object to office will cause disaster – then they shall be excused from the responsibility of voting.”
2. “Umm… huh?” inquires village idiot, Agnes Singh. “I voted? When? Oh, yeah. Please don’t make me not vote. The ballots are really tasty, and where else would I get my fibre? Everyone should have the right to vote, no matter what their favourite greenhouse is! Then we can all get the government to do what we want! First thing I think we should do is, uh, ban fruit? I hate fruit.”
