In my opinion, rather more pertinent than an upper or lower age limit for voting ... would be the ability to pass an intelligence test.
Rather than imposing any sort of criteria on the electorate I would like to see consequences for politicians and others who deliberately mislead. This could include fines (personal and party) and losing their seats. The electorate should be able to rely on information presented in referendums and elections. Where the information is found to be deliberately misleading then there should be consequences.

Come on Andy and Tess! The absolute dream ticket!
