And what stops this being used by powerful interests to shut down views and policies that challenge them? I'm sure the current politicians think they're more 'informed' than everyone else. I'm sure everyone in the media thinks they're more 'informed' than everyone else. Everyone in the world has a different idea about what 'informed' means in regards to political opinions.
Something like this just becomes a tool for the rich and powerful to shut out the people 'too stupid to agree with them' and for the status quo to be maintained in perpetuity. For something like that to work, someone has to decide who can vote. That someone has opinions that a significant amount of people won't agree with.
