| Should we ban all people with mental conditions from voting? |

to clarify for Planr, I said 'southern literacy test' in reference to the tribal tests of the south, I meant for it to be applied to the whole country to assure voters had at least a minimal understanding of the politics they would take part in. For the same reason we don't give someone who can't drive a driver's license, we shouldn't let someone who can't vote for what they want vote. I wasn't saying we should be testing the south--especially not as some sort of punishment for slavery--I was saying that we should implement a system like what was seen in the south, except of course, as I said, not tribal. 'Widespread' suggested that it should be taken all over the country. --- Quote from: Master Matthew² on January 15, 2017, 12:44:34 AM ---If we were to abolish the two party system, we would have to abolish parties, which would be very bad. --- End quote --- uh... why? |

You don't need more than two parties, you just need parties with not stuff candidates. Plus, 50% of the population winning compared to 25% winning sounds a lot nicer --- Quote from: Master Matthew² on January 15, 2017, 12:44:34 AM ---If we were to abolish the two party system, we would have to abolish parties, which would be very bad. --- End quote --- I'm sorry what |

This would be bad, unless this was changed somehow. |
