Political scientist Heath Pickering argues for a voting system based on how long you'll have to live with the consequences of political decisions.
The democratic principle of "one person, one vote" is fundamentally flawed. The way Baby Boomers and beyond are voting the world over is evidence that old solutions often aren't adept at tackling new problems. Old people keep gutting the future of young people. And it has to stop.
