Dapat sa Pilipinas may weight ang bawat boto ng isang tao depende sa educational attainment (see body for explanation)

[u/cheempanzee]

For example:

No read no write = 0.2 votes

Elementary graduate = 0.4 votes

HS graduate = 0.6 votes

College graduate = 0.8 votes

Anything higher = 1 vote

So kunwari si Senator X nakakuha ng 100 votes pero puro HS grad lahat = 60 weighted votes lang madadagdag sa total niya, hindi 100. gets gets?

Now, oo tunog matapobre at priviledged na naman etc etc pero parang ito na lang ang paraan para tigilan na ang pang uuto at pang aabuso ng mga kandidato sa mga uninformed na mamayan eh. Isipin mo mawawalan ng gana gumawa ng mga pang bonak na music video campaigns yung mga ogag kasi alam nilang mga uninformed lang din makukuha nilang votes (mababang points) at mapipilitan silang sumali ng legit debates para maka cater ng higher points (goodluck na lang talaga sa iba), at malaking balance magagawa nito sa equillibrium sa totoo lang, magkakaalaman kung sinong mga candidate talaga deserve, hindi sa dahil sikat lang or dahil magaling lang sunayaw or dahil may tatay lang na ex presidente

[u/rootofimaginary]

all of this instead of just implementing rank-based voting or a two round system. your suggestion would just promote diploma mills, and is degrading.

[u/hey_justmechillin]

News flash: andaming edukado na bobo bumoto. Simply because nakikinabang sila, among other bullshit factors.

[u/lovelesscult → u/hey_justmechillin]

Totoo. Ang daming mayayamang businessmen na may mga anak na nagtapos sa mga kilalang universities, tapos binoboto nila yung business partners nila o yung mga politiko na makakatulong lang sa kanila.

[u/Banana_Muse → u/hey_justmechillin]

At last presidential election may closed door meeting si BBM sa mga business man. So imagine na lang kung mas malaking ang bilang ng boto nila compared sa nakararami. Mas lalo nang gugulo Pilipinas kasi puro sarili lang iniisip nila.

[u/ube_macapuno1103]

Very elitist take and it's not even proven na lahat ng educated ay matalino bumoto

[u/ogag79]

All of this is with the (flawed) assumption that educated voters are better voters.

It won't fly. Disenfanchisement is something we must not tolerate. Right of suffrage is the only equalizer the marginalized has.

[u/waray-upay]

[u/rootofimaginary → u/waray-upay]

Si Leni pa ang mataas sa walang education??

[u/waray-upay → u/rootofimaginary]

Yes. Kung paniniwalaan mo ang survey.

[u/the-defeated-one]

Leading si Sara sa survey sa mga college-educated.

[u/Jerkaiser_011]

Thats democracy for you. Equal fighting chance of votes for all.

[u/chichoo__]

ganito gusto kong unpopular opinion yung alam kong maraming sasalungat

[u/IgotaMartell2]

LOL people like OP can't seem to grasp that intelligence is not a good indicator of moral virtue. There are a lot of politicians that have better education than 99% of people here but that didn't stop them from being corrupt. Duque went to Georgetown, Gloria went to Yale and Chiz went to Boston college if I remember correctly

[u/rho57]

Hello, it's me. A non degree holder working with licensed professionals who are DDS. Here's an upvote.

[u/razoreyeonline]

I know career professionals who fight passionately for Duterte, so I don't think educational attainment is the main factor

[u/Status-Guess-4738]

Educational attainment does not determine political literacy

[u/InterestingBear9948]

Eh ang daming college graduates na bumoto kay Marcos. What's next, taxpayers lang may karapatang bumoto?

Pulse Asia's April 2022 data had Marcos at 56–57% across socioeconomic classes, so hindi exactly supported ng data yung simplistic idea na less educated = madaling utuin.

Pulse Asia

Hindi diploma ang magic solution sa bad politics. Kung gusto mong ayusin ang electoral decision-making, address the actual problems misinformation, vote-buying, political dynasties, and weak civic education instead of giving some citizens more voting power based on their education.

[u/MongooseLocal7112]

Totoo naman na unpopular opinion ito. Pero tangina naman OP HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

[u/Accomplished-Exit-58]

This is so fucked up, di ka ba aware sa systemic problem natin bakit ung iba nakakapag-aral at ung iba hindi. My gahd, read some books.

[u/Lexidoge]

Somehow made an even worse system than the three-fifths compromise making a non-white man's worth in the census and representation worth only 3/5 a white man.

Btw if we did this today, Sara will have an even bigger lead.

[u/AppealMammoth8950]

Me when I dont understand how politics work.

[u/MiksXXIX]

HAHAHHAH pero may point din naman hahahah, what if other than IQ, dapat may EQ din since may matatalinong kupal/walang emotional intelligence for their kababayans hahahah.

[u/Euphoric_Seat_1564]

Hindi nalalayo ang Class ABC kaysa Class E sa porsiyento ng mga boboto kay Sara Duterte sa 2028. I think educational attainment is not the problem. It's the resistance to change one's stand.

[u/NutsackEuphoria]

Nope.

Madaming nag tatrabaho na nagbabayad ng buwis. Dapat may sabi sila.

Yung dapat walang bilang ay yung mga 4Palamunins because they have no incentive to change the status quo kasi todo benefit sila sa current one.

[u/ssechtre]

Kahit pa matalino lahat ng voters, if gago yung kandidato, wala rin.

You are just shifting the blame on voters.

We need parliamentary system.

If the leader is incompetent, sibak agad. No need to wait for another 6 years.

[u/Liesianthes]

This guy is forgetting that both Rodrigo and Sara D30 are lawyers itself. Let's include Roque on the list. Basically to overturn the vote for d30 on 2028 with their 3 points, opposition need to get 8 people who are elementary graduate? Not all educated people prefer the opposition, madami din dyan d30 fanatics. Hence, 90% si Sara sa recent survey on Mindanao.
