Stop trying to misrepresent my position and instead support your position.
So what, now you're saying you
are willing and happy to accept votes on national and local community decisions by all regardless?
Because what you said before was that certain people shouldn't be allowed votes because they haven't been well enough educated; I then extended that to cover anyone who
might, temporarily or otherwise, be considered relatively less able to rationally apply their mental judgment capability, because that was what you were you by argument inferring.
You see where this is going, right?
