Bit of a random topic for AIBU, but since we've had a few threads recently on politics and taxes, why not?...
A decade or so ago I thought it seemed that those who will impacted most by today's policies have the least (no!) say in them. Our politics are largely shaped by the vote of the oldest section of society and the youngest just have to live with it.
Solution? Give parents an extra vote per child. They will be highly likely to use it in the way that benefits their child, so the country's policies will be more likely to favour the young (and the future of the country) rather than the old.
There's a name for the concept - demeny voting. It gets considered here and there in various countries, but what does mumsnet think?
