A Modest Proposal: Limiting the Franchise

[Rhyfelwyr]

No, it is a horrible idea. I don't want some one randomly born from a family of interbreeding to have the at least the equivalent of 3,135 votes compared to my one, even though I can make a far superior choice than they could.

Why think in terms of votes? Votes have no value in and of themselves, instead they are simply the means by which we gain our representation. Therefore, instead of dealing with the mechanics of voting, my system tackles representation more directly, giving every person an equal voice in parliament. You still have not adressed the issue whereby the interests of 30% of the population will be wholly made redundant in your system.

We live in modern liberal democracies, not the old-style tyranny of the majority style democracies. For one segment of the population to have a monopoly of seats/power in parliament is unacceptable.

The only issue with my system is that there is the potential for two of the three groups to gang up on the other. To resolve this issue, I propose giving a monarch power equivalent to thirty votes in the parliament (the same number of seats as each group gets). As a non-partisan actor, the monarch could side with the group singled out, and bring things to a stalemate until a decision more acceptable for all is reached.

The blue-bloods should disappear as a footnote on the pages of History.

Needs of the aristocrats.. it is a complete joke, they shouldn't even exist in the 21st century.

At least with the burgeoisie, I will allow them to phase out like a ghost, with the aristocrats, bring in the guillotine.

You sound like some sort of revolutionary... if you place the interests of international class structures over the good of the state in which you participate, then you have no place debating how to further the good of that state for all its citizens. Communist!
