(had the idea after seeing this)
Each person's vote should be weighed by their life expectancy given their age.
(ETA: I will downvote any comment in this subthread discussing the object-level issue of whether Britain had better stay in the EU, no matter how reasonable and insightful it is.)
This seems like a slippery slope. Minorities tend to have shorter life expectancies than whites, at least in the U.S. and U.K. Do their votes then count for less?
At the bottom of that slippery slope is an ice floe.
I'm not sure that's worse than what present-day Americans do.
You do realize that getting onto that ice floe is not voluntary, right?
