Should only politically literate vote?

The annual Vic Uni Debating Society Vice-Chancellor’s debate is:

Thu 25 October 2012
Rutherford House LT 1
Starts 6.30 pm
Refreshments after the debate

The topic is:

That passing a test of political literacy should be a condition of voting

The Government team will negate the motion, consisting of:

Alfred Ngaro, List MP for National
Stephen Whittington. Named 3rd best speaker in the world at the 2012 World Universities Debating Championships.
Third member to be confirmed

The Opposition team will support the motion:

Jacinda Ardern, List MP for Labour
Gareth Hughes, List MP for Green Party
Sebastian Templeton, lawyer for Chapman Tripp. Winner of the World Universities Peace invitational Debate in 2011 and ranked 15th best speaker in the world at 2012 World Universities Debating Championships.

I won’t be here for it, but if you want to attend just RSVP to rsvp@vuw.ac.nz with ‘VC Debate’ in the subject line.

For this topic I’d love to be in the opposition team, speaking for it.
