I didn't say whether anyone should or shouldn't vote. I asked a question regarding whether people with conflicts of interest should be prevented from participating in a democratic society, through voting, or as a politician.

So should that be allowed or not?

I think people using roads, or schools, or getting welfare should be able to vote, I believe politicians getting monetary benefits from tax filing services should be allowed to speak.

I mean that's a pretty harsh decision, deciding that the government determines who is allowed to speak. That's what I was responding to.
