Agreed, Baxxter, and to make it easear make it weighted according to tax paid, the higher the tax the more wieght the vote has. 

It would eliminate the parasites and the evaders from the equation in one go, leaving only those who contribute to the wellfare of the country.]]></description>

U Le!, I share your pain. 

In normal countries, the underclass doesn&#039;t vote. In Malta, they vote in droves. That&#039;s how we reach the blasphemous figure of 99% voting rate. Malta needs a Special Democracy, like the Special Olympics. Weighted voting. How about that? The French did it in Algeria.]]></description>

Have you ever tried to watch a piece of &#039;Klassi Ghalina&#039; on One on Sunday?

It&#039;s incredible. Not only is it not funny, but they do their best to perpetuate the idea that the typical Laburist is a &#039;hamallu&#039; and the typical Nazzjonalist is well educated, rich and elitist.

I really cannot understand what Ray Attard is doing in that show.]]></description>

I agree with you wholeheartedly. I have been suggesting this IQ test for voting since 1996, at least.

I cannot bear the fact that some people can have a vote when they are not even able to string a line of thought.

Yes, it might sound elitist, but...]]></description>
