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

[EdgyEagle]

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

Some of those things are fairly extreme if not completely bonkers. I'm going to put you on a list for when I come to power 🤣

I don’t think you could possibly know who was either extreme right or extreme left. How could that possibly work?!

Or Stalinism, to provide a touch of unMN balance!

Well I think your view is pretty extreme. What with wanting to disenfranchise lots of people because you don't like their views.

So I guess your name will go on the list of people with extreme views who aren't allowed to vote.

Bravo OP.

I think that your OP is an extreme political view.

I can absolutely guarantee that the OP is a labour voter that is pissed off there is a petition of nearly 2 million people asking for a general election. These people in her eyes will be extremists.

Oh, don’t be so silly @EdgyEagle

But who decides what is extreme? I think Reform voters are extreme. Presumably lots of people would disagree. I think your idea of limiting democracy is extreme so you'd lose out too.

But you would have to clearly define your terms in order to bring this into law. If you think it’s a realistic and reasonable proposal, you must have thought about these points in order to be able to advocate for them. That’s if you want a proper debate, and not just to plop on a goady post and watch the chaos ensue…

I think that might be quite an extreme view in and of itself OP 😬 maybe you shouldn’t be allowed to vote?

Anyway, if you want to kick off a revolution, this is probably the way to go.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes.

With radical and extreme latin like that you definitely don't get a vote 😀

So how will you implement it? Will you ask at the Polling Station if people have extreme views and rely on their responses?

The Nazis and the KGB developed some great methods.

Don’t be silly.

I think Farage is extreme. I think Brexit was insane.
I live in a democracy though so I have to accept that the majority disagree with me. Insane though I think (know) they are.

So you're a fascist? You want to do away with democracy

You have an extreme view @EdgyEagle do you acknowledge that you should be one of the people losing their vote?

I doubt you do which is the same as a lot of other people who also don’t recognise their own extreme views. So that is why it is difficult to figure out where the line on extreme to moderate lies.

No.

Stop being part of the problem.

Relieved to see 97% of posters think YABU.

I think you have excluded yourself from voting by your own measure,OP.

I signed up to one of the communist parties when I was an enthusiastic 18 year old, and I can’t remember which one it was should I ever need to unsubscribe splitters. I also own a beret.

It’s all over for me when OP gets in to power.

OP would you expect the Spanish Inquisition to have a role in this?

But where would your cut off be between those who are left of centre and those who you would term far left? And how would you know those who you thought were not ‘extreme’ secretly are and you have mistakenly let them vote in your regime. Also would people have a second chance if they moderated their views in time for the next election, or would they be banned for life? Are you advocating a one party nation with no democracy?

You don’t believe in democracy. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Pretty extreme view on extremism you have OP.

You have a strange view of 'sense'
