Should everyone be allowed to vote? or did the Romans have it right that only qualified citizens have the right. You wouldn't necessarily have to do a lifetime's military service, just have to jump a very simple hurdle like knowing which constituency you belong too, or who your current MP is.

Remember that your well thought out and reasoned vote is worth the same as these muppets

A simple multiple choice questionnaire to get through before you can have your voting slip, not complicated and doesn't take more than a couple of minutes, as they have in some Scandinavian countries.
