This is something that actually came up whilst i was scrolling on X and I know it would be shut down immediately if it were ever proposed seriously. The idea comes from the belief that voting is one of the most powerful responsibilities citizens have in a typical democracy yet many people participate in elections without really understanding how the political system works or what the candidates actually stand for, especially in countries where their is massive corruption and literacy rate is low.In some countries today, elections are heavily influenced by misinformation, and blinded by tribal or ethnic loyalty, and sometimes even vote buying. People may vote based on slogan, or loyalty to a particular political group rather than an understanding of what the candidate is going to bring policies or governance-wise. When this happens on a large scale, it can lead to leaders being chosen not because they are competent, but because they are popular or skilled at manipulating public opinion.
