Read Heinlein's "Starship Troopers" ( the book, not the movie) There is a discussion about who should be able to vote( in that society)- a criteria is GOVERNMENT SERVICE for a time ( two years, or as required by the government), in whatever position the government wants to put you in. NOT your choice- You sign up, and serve. You can quit at any time ( except actually in combat) but then you do NOT get to vote- EVER. Those serving DO NOT vote until they leave service- If you become career military (or government) YOU do not vote until you retire.

Do YOU want someone running the country who would not demonstrate that they put the country above their own interests?
