Watching the recent horror show in White House. It made me wonder if there should be a basic comprehension test before people are allowed to vote ? I’m not talking about the 11+ test. Maybe just a couple of questions to confirm understanding

Oh aren't you nice, only people YOU approve are allowed to vote eh?

Perhaps you need your intelligence testing if you think that your suggestion is in any way democratic!

That’s not how democracy works though. Even idiots are allowed to have their say.

This question was raised on here after the EU referendum and I was surprised how few people objected.
What would the two questions be?
