Ragnor:networkn: IlDuce: Actually it's nothing to do with Intelligence, it's to do with selfishness and lack of common sense and the fact that students and beneficiaries are not contributing to the tax base, society as much as workers do, and as such shouldn't be able to control how those funds are distributed.
When you start getting selective democracy it tends to be a slippery slope.
Complaining about students and oldies voting in a self interested way is overblown, practically everyone votes selfishly to some degree.
Actually it's not oldies I was talking about, mostly they have contributed to the tax system, they have experience and use common sense.
I understand the arguments against, but what value will WP bring to the Govt this 3 year period, he was voted in by students because he promised to write off student loans, something he shouldn't have promised since he has no ability to do it.
