I know this will never fly in the U.S., but one can wonder. What if to vote in any election above the local level, one would have to have one of the following: 1) a Bachelor's degree, 2) an IQ in at least the 75th percentile of adults(extremely generous), 3) or the successful completion of an introductory class on government, politics, and political parties.
In addition, 1) real term limits would be instituted(no more 80 year old senators) and 2) the process for 3rd pary candidates would be simplified.
I honestly believe we would get a much better result than what we get now. What do you think? As Americans we love picking the best for our Olympic teams, elected representatives, etc. What would be wrong with being a little more selective in who decides our leadership?
