To think that people with extreme political views shouldn’t be allowed to vote?

Far-left and far-right ideologies are tearing society apart. Should we limit the influence of extremists?

Yes, great idea. Presumably you’ve thought about how you define extreme and how you identify people with extreme views?

Badgerandfox227 · 24/11/2024 21:43

You want Fascism?

Spudthespanner · 24/11/2024 21:42

No. But I don't think you should be allowed to vote. You're fecking nuts.

It's called living in a democracy.

Beg pardon?

The appetite for authoritarian policies is off the chart on this site at the moment.

I think extreme left or extreme right views are quite problematic - but you can’t stop people voting!

Are you suggesting we do away with democracy?

Hateam · 24/11/2024 21:39

There are many problems with this.

Can you define extreme please?

IKEAJesus · 24/11/2024 21:38

Who defines what is extreme? It would very quickly go to “whoever disagrees with me”

FiveShelties · 24/11/2024 21:38

How would you implement that? And who decides how far far-left or right is?
