To think there needs to be a points strategy for voting.

And for those people who are old enough that they could leave school without taking any exams - and many did, as their families needed the money? Or who are of the era when very few people has the opportunity to go to university?

I’d love some sort of ranked voting system - however I’m not sure how my sciences degree makes me any more knowledgeable on politics than someone without one?

I would suggest everyone started with 5 votes per election and then they get deducted for misdemeanours.

Ever painted a flag on a roundabout? Minus 10 votes (they’ll miss two elections!)
Do you bag at the till in Aldi? Minus 2 votes.
Do you write goady threads on mumsnet? Minus 15 votes.

As much I as understand that statistically the less educated vote right wing (fact.. don't jump on me right wingers) everyone should have an equal say and an equal vote. Otherwise policies will not reflect issues that the less educated in society will need

Yes, good idea. Let’s improve our democracy by letting more privileged people get up to 8x as many votes as less privileged people 🤡

And 0 points for anyone who comes up with stupid ideas like this one.

Not only is it potentially discriminatory (certainly based on age, if nothing else) but going to university doesn’t mean you are more intelligent than someone who hasn’t done so - people make different choices for all kinds of reasons.

I’m also intrigued what you mean by “people who… vote properly”. Do you mean those who share your views? Because that’s not how democracy works.
