Votes should be inversely weighted by age. The vote of someone who's going to clock out before the next election even rolls around shouldn't be worth the same as the vote of someone who's going to have to live with the consequences for half a century or more.

But what about the reverse argument?

The elders know much more than the young generation, shouldn't they have a larger say?
