    ''Well , to be fair , I suppose we would need to elect a body to administer the system .''

    of course we could

    ''Perhaps we just keep it simple , 18 , or 16 at a pinch , with no upper limit.
    Not perfect , but not that bad.''

    but, that's the point of the comprehension testing - the only criteria being to pass the test and only citizens can sit it

    as far as I can see - it's as close to perfect as one can get and discriminates against no one - only those who can't comprehend - who should never have a vote - same as those who can't comprehend road rules - aren't allowed to drive


    if we are to improve - then, how better than to have the best people to choose leaders -------------- IF we insist on having people do the choosing and not move to sortition.
