@TLK

I am cutting and pasting from another thread of mine that I started few years ago

**Literacy (2008)
Total: 56.2
Male: 68.2
Female: 43.6
Primary: 87.3%
Secondary: 44%
Post Secondary: 4.7%

Is it fair to disqualify 95% of the population to ever take part in general elections? Is this democracy?**

Pakistan’s language for laws is english and even if we move to urdu, you might still need education for that as not everyone’s mother language is urdu.

PS Btw, even america is not a basic democracy but a republic. It has happened few times with electoral voters going against who their voters voted for, but what about the electoral college for Presidential elections? Sure, it increases the power of small states like iowa but someone also said that it shows that the govt didn’t trust the voters completely so 51% is enough for all the college of a state to vote for a president.

PS2 America still doesn’t allow people in jail or even people who have done their time, especially felons, to vote. What is up with that?

I’d say that if it makes sense, then have an education requirement. We don’t want a rubber stamp parliament which has been the case in Pakistan for a long time.
