To qualify to vote, or to qualify to lead?

To vote. To lead, one ought to hold a degree in a field relevant to the office they're seeking. We are today ruled mainly by lawyers, with the results we ought to expect from that.

Is that not Taxation without representation for those who don't/can't pass the testing?
Would you also support some kind of ethics comprehension component for the test?

  1. That's a good point I didn't think of. I guess it's an unsolvable problem then.
  2. No, because language and mathematical mastery are objective, while it would be a rightfully contentious question who it is gets to design the ethics test, which answers are right/wrong, etc.
