1 vote for every £1,000 paid in tax per year. Pensioners who have retired get awarded voting rights based on an average of tax paid throughout their working life.

Pay no tax and you can’t vote. Simple. Should please the lefties who are forever whinging about how the rich don’t pay enough tax.

What a great plan. I shall write to Boris.

I don't think the postman would get the voting cards through my letterbox

No representation without taxation!

You would only get one card, Crispy. Yours would say “Congratulations Crispy, you are entitled to 1,000 votes. Use them wisely.”

Why would you get a vote because you got money?

1 man 1 vote!

or women as long as they are not allowed to drive!

I've pondered this before. I've even a slogan for it, stolen from our american cousins:
"No Representation Without Taxation".
It's a winner!

FFS I see WD stole it from me, must've read me post it before. I do repeat myself in my endless ramblings :)

The question that all constitutional experts will ponder though:

Does paying the Betfair Premium Charge or the BBC TV Tax make you a taxpayer Wink.

Income tax is the criterion.  No income tax - no vote.
I don't see why people living on benefits should get the vote if they don't pay income tax and that applies to those retired.

Just as drawing Pension Credit qualifies claimers for many benefits over and above those just drawing the State Pension, it should also disqualify claimants from voting.

I come up with loads of things. It's not my fault if people steal them in advance.

Whisperingdeath throwing his toys out of the pram as usual. The poor soul is obviously living on benefits.

would you get negative votes if you were a negative tax payer ?

More name calling from the benefits boy Whisperingdeath, and that looks like a threat in his last alcohol induced post.

Why does being left-wing, on benefits and rudeness from behind a computer screen go together so often?

Add liar and look in the mirror!

Why would you think I am on benefits?

Why do you make things up?

At least I am trying to speak the truth... you are an idiot and a liar, ask anyone!

Shame you are not around!  - What did you mean by that WD?

What about basing it on intelligence. I think lfc suggested that once.
Or a combination of both.
