Justin Fox notes –
“Even if you
believe that political elites in the U.S., U.K. and elsewhere have made a mess
of things in recent years (and I do), it's still hard not to entertain the
suspicion that maybe voters are a big part of the problem, too. As one
political theorist recently wrote, "The basic problem is not that most
voters seek to maximize their self-interest, but rather that most voters lack
the knowledge necessary to make informed political judgments." Or,
"The uncomfortable truth is that the best (perhaps only) way to reduce the
political influence of ignorant voters is to deprive them of the vote."
