Knowledge test to vote ?, Should individuals lacking adequate understanding be permitted to vote

To watch full episode go here : https://rumble.com/v4kw9eu-mike-in-the-night-e552-next-weeks-news-today-headlines-call-ins.html Originating from ancient Greece, the term "idiot" described individuals solely focused on private matters, displaying no interest in public affairs or politics, and thus considered ignorant. In modern democratic societies, the presence of "idiots" — those apathetic to public life and politics yet occasionally exercising their civic rights in elections — presents a unique challenge. This phenomenon triggers discussions about the wisdom of allowing uninformed individuals to influence future decisions through voting. An example of addressing this challenge emerged in Bulgaria in 2016, where amendments to electoral laws introduced a provision disenfranchising citizens who fail to participate in two consecutive elections of the same type. While individuals removed from voter rolls can regain their voting rights through re-enlistment, critics argue that this solution fails to tackle the core issue of uninformed voters participating in elections. Jan Kubalcík, leader of the Czech Conservative Party, proposes an innovative solution: requiring citizens to pass a basic knowledge test before casting their votes. This test, comprising ten randomly selected questions from a pool of a thousand, aims to exclude those lacking fundamental understanding of political and general knowledge from decision-making processes. However, critics question the fairness and practicality of such measures, arguing they may discriminate against those who are ignorant. Despite the Czech Conservative Party's longstanding presence in politics, Kubalcík acknowledges the slim chances of his proposal being adopted. This ongoing dilemma underscores the tension between ensuring an informed electorate and upholding inclusive democratic principles, prompting societies to contemplate whether they are inevitably "doomed to idiots" in the realm of electoral participation. #mikemartins #mikeinthenight Politics, Democracy, Civic Engagement, Voter Rights, Electoral Law, Uninformed Voters, Public Affairs, Political Knowledge, Czech Republic, Conservative Party, Electoral Reform, Voter Education, Democratic Principles, Civic Responsibility, Electoral Participation, Political Apathy, Civic Rights, Knowledge Test, Jan Kubalcík, Bulgarian Elections, Legislative Influence, Fair Voting, Inclusive Democracy, Electoral Challenges, Public Debate, Democratic Values, Voter Disenfranchisement, Civic Awareness, Political Decision Making, Electoral Systems, Political Reform, Voter Eligibility

Mike Martins, the host of the popular call-in show "Mike in the Night," had become a beacon of truth in an era of uncertainty. Mikes Series, Mike in the Night started in 2016 , With over 500 live streams under his belt, Mike had earned the title of "The Voice of the Commonwealth," a moniker that he wore with pride. Trends in the Housing Market was the 1st organized live stream by Mike that went on to a impressive 341 episodes , with guests from all over the commonwealth, discussing the takeover of middleclass by money laundering of foreign investors and destroying the fabric of wester civilization, Via Inflation , Money Laundering and corrupt politicians , and rigged elections It all began on a modest YouTube channel, where Mike's genuine passion for uncovering the truth and providing a platform for unheard voices drew an ever-growing audience. "Mike in the Night" was more than just a show; it was a movement, a source of hope for those who yearned for honest discussions and uncensored news. As the popularity of the show never took off , so did the challenges. The powers that be were not always fond of Mike's candid approach to reporting. Shadow bans and platform restrictions became an unfortunate reality, forcing Mike to adapt and find new homes for his broadcast. First came the migration to Odysee after 6 Youtube suspensions , a platform that promised more freedom and less interference. It was a welcome change, but the battle against censorship and shadow banning was far from over. The show's reach continued to grow, and with it, the pressure to find a platform that would respect Mike's mission. Next on the journey was Rumble on a second try after not being able to stream in 2020 , a platform that seemed promising, with its commitment to free speech. For a while, it felt like Mike had found a stable home. But as the show's popularity dwindled so did the challenges. The constant struggle against shadow bans and restrictions wore on and competing with rumble hero's , and Mike knew he needed to keep searching for a platform that would at least allow him to be found.
