| Mr Khan said: Frankly a terrible, terrible idea. It sounds like the ludicrous plan that the Thai military junta was floating around to make some people's votes count for more (a lot more) than others, based on their value to society. In theory it is sound, but then the question is, how to we determine value in a way that doesn't end up with terrible classism? |
I imagine most people who are in favor of this are working under the assumption that their votes would count more, when in practice they would probably count less.
I would be in favor of a no representation without taxation reform, though. Hell, I'd gladly forfeit my right to cast a statistically meaningless vote in exchange for the right to keep all my money.
