JOINING THE SA FORUMS WILL REMOVE THIS BIG AD, THE ANNOYING UNDERLINED ADS, AND STUPID INTERSTITIAL ADS!!!

You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

The people (like me) who know gently caress all about plumbing, wouldn't choose to vote, leaving a collection of mainly plumbers running the plumbing of a country, and eventually, this would work internationally. ALSO IN A GALACTIC SPACE FEDERATION! Ahem.
If this works the way I think you envision the best outcome is that you wind up in a technocracy, and the more likely outcomes are either the Plumbing Forum gets brigaded by a specific industry/cartel that can now literally and directly write the laws without any impediment, or the Plumbing Forum gets invaded by the retired/insane that bog everything down (or worse, are successful), or a literal goon invasion where every pipe connector has to have a gold ring painted on one side for Lord Goatse. And that's for the dry subjects like plumbing - wait until you get in the vaccines or fluoridation or blue/black dress forum.
