Would we all be better off if only the top 10% of the population had the right to vote?

I know this sounds like some bullshit that a pompous aristocrat or some right wing asshole would say, but hear me out.<br><br>It's no secret that many democratic countries are struggling with the post-truth era and the constant influence of right-wing populism, Brexit and Trump are just two examples of this. <br><br>We as a society constantly talk about how the 'will of the people' should be carried out and we should respect the will to democracy, but all of these things that are happening show that a large portion of the population don't even believe in the fundamental principles of democracy anymore.<br><br>The reason for all of this that I believe is primarily that a lot of the population are uneducated about the world and the extent to which certain policies and actions will affect them, they are heavily influenced by loud, yet uninformed people, they all of a sudden have a massive distrust for every public institution, even though most of the time these people have done nothing but be a positive force for society and they are easily persuaded by lies and propaganda.<br><br>In contrast, a highly educated population are more likely to have a greater grasp of how the world works, have a more in depth understanding of history, a more nuanced understanding of the current political climate and the potential consequences of any given policy. They are more likely to have a greater trust in public institutions and are more likely to respond to facts and evidence rather than disinformation and propaganda.<br><br>Therefore, would we all potentially be better off if the top 10% of the population in terms of educational achievement had the right to vote?
