Democracy going to the dogs?

Postby Arumdaum » Fri Apr 08, 2011 9:28 am

After a recent election instated a small dog as member of parliament, the fringe group "Brains for Ballots" has demanded for the government to tighten voting restrictions.

The Debate

"The ignorant have taken over Arumdaum," yells Gregory Li, 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."


"Umm... huh?" inquires village idiot, Larry Chicago. "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."


I'd like to choose #2, but I'm afraid that fruit will actually be banned and that my civil rights will go down. Does anyone know what happens?

I just got this one this morning in an alt.
citizens recently voted in favour of declaring bubblewrap an 'abomination of nature'.

Political freedoms went up and I'm not sure anything else changed.
