This isn't wise. This is the same argument used to justify voter suppression laws. The myth of the unqualified vote. That my vote is well reasoned and I have done my research but you haven't.
Look at Brexit-- there was an article in the Independent this week with this title:
> Leave voter who wants to 'control our own laws' can't name single EU law
You don't think it's a problem that our countries are being guided by people who haven't got a clue whether the thing they're voting for lines up with what they profess to desire from their government?
Personally I consider it the single largest problem with democracy and one of the most difficult issues of modern times. How can you simultaneously allow everyone a say, yet filter out all the noise of people whose opinions are simply invalid ?
If the task at hand is to build a bridge, and you have a group of 100 people composed of 5 structural/civil engineers and 95 other people, 10 of whom genuinely believe play-doh is a viable material for large-scale construction, should all votes on how to go about building the bridge truly be weighted equally?
And no, it is not ironic.
We see this kind of thing in The Netherlands too (which I'm from); a referendum about a trade agreement between Europe and Ukraine. Large amounts of "no"-votes were based on the argument that Ukraine shouldn't become a member of the EU. Which is really not what the referendum was about. Although in this case it's maybe less uneducated and more fear-based.
