Closed petition Introduce IQ minimum for Government and Parliament members

We think the people in charge with passing laws, running the overall country interests should at least have an IQ of over 100 (country average). We think this could help make sure there is efficiency, common sense and productivity amongst the highest institution’s members.

More details

This could be a first step towards efficiency in UK. All members of Government and Parliament to be tested for IQ by third party entities. No lower than 90 (below country average) should be allowed to stand.
