I have always thought the voting should be like in Heinlein’s Starship Troopers. You could add anyone who served in any branch of the military and maybe those who were under arms in police forces and the like, but you should only be allowed to vote if you have skin in the game.

A real Democracy is an ugly mob taking what it wants.

So, only someone who was in the military should have the right to vote? That is the ONLY way to have skin in the game? So the other 97% are just eaters?

I understand the sentiment. But the numbers don’t work.
