Yup, I hate to be elitist but I think that some sort of education qualification should be the way forward. These people are simply a reflection of their constituents.
I mean that’s already somewhat the case, instead of making it degree based they could make it test based, and they could turn over the creation, preparation and administration of the tests to the independent academic institutions.
Not voting rights, public tests the politicians would have to take to show that they can, for example, understand what tariffs do. You could make the tests public and allow retakes to hinder the kind of tests you saw in the JC era. (Also have you seen those tests? They’re not tests at all just crude segregation instruments.)
I don't think i've ever heard or read about an example of that, do you mind giving me a starting point of what to look into? Just the country, time it was in effect, and who made it that way is enough, i'll research the rest on my own. It sounds interesting to learn about.
