Lee Kuan Yew of Singapore has made some interesting and controversial comments about suffrage in the past. Some of it even makes sense. IIRC, he feels that married working peoples vote should count more than the young or the old. The young are basically to dumb to vote - who here was really informed at age 18. And then you have the old folks, an incredibly powerful voting block that is able to get what ever it wants. They don't call social security the third rail of American politics for nothing...
