I fear being in or out wouldn't make the difference. Poor government planning results in being vulnerable to exploitation, e.g. West Berks Council and town centre apartments.

It would make a difference in the sense that we are in charge of our own destiny.

That is just the point; we wouldn't necessarily.

BUT we would only have our own elected leaders and ourselves to blame. That is the nub.

Which is another good point: if I am averagely intelligent, half the voting population are thicker than me.

Perhaps we should introduce an exam to qualify for voting.

A written English and Maths exam should do the trick.

Pass and you get to vote. I'm sure UKIP would be up for it!

Alrighty: Question #1. A sizable majority of voters are less than averagely intelligent.

Might that be true? Show your workings.
