I don't see a problem with smart people making decisions for dumb people. I don't want dumb people voting. Maybe that's elitist, because I know plenty of smart people who aren't higher educated, but they are still smart, that is the key. It'd be interesting to see voting demographics.

I wouldn't think that it's only smart people... in fact, I know 2 people who voted for the Conservatives who probably should have stayed home. On person voted for them because he thought it was cool when Stockwell Day was on the news riding a jet-ski in Kelowna, and the other was confused and said that she doesn't like Liberals because "George Bush is a liberal"... seriously.... and both of them are university educated.
