I must side more with nostr:npub1flm9yc3vhc3dj036pn3ysl5xwd4f5gyhyjnn9rzehs5mqe9y9ynq6qrg9q here.
Universal suffrage and the increase of the voters’ base is what led us here.
The continuous inclusion of the masses in the decision process is what led us here. If the voting base was comprised of High-IQ fathers property owners, the candidates will reflect that.
Increasing the restrictions to become a member in the voting process is a net positive.
And if you ask me, let’s increase that restriction infinitely and go back to the rule of absolute kings.
Local elections in villages would still be a good idea, because everyone would still know everyone else and you would be able to hold people personally accountable on such a local scale.
