***** If we could devise a test to identify good vs bad voters, then we wouldn't need democratic processes at all, as the test would also identify good and bad policies. Obviously such a test is impossible. It's as rediculous as having comedians pass a test of "what is and isn't funny", it's completely subjective, always dynamic with the culture, changing constantly, it simply can't be done. Also those who control/write/maintain/etc the test would become the defacto rulers of society, so the test itself would become the primary target for those who wish to exert political influence, it's just moved the goalposts. Democracy's advantage is that it can change as fast as popular opinion can, the government is never outof line with it's voters for longer than 1 election cycle (generally less). As society changes, nothing in democracy has to be re-designed to adapt, it adapts itself.
