Lovely!  So the English majority would decide policies for the French 
minority;  a Catholic majority could determine legal/moral issues for other 
religions;  a majority of "straight" voters would determine what rights 
a gay minority is entitled to etc...
Since the majority is not always right, I don't think this would be much 
of an improvement.  Besides, most voters don't acquaint themselves enough 
with the issues to make an intelligent decision.  (Yes, I'm including 
myself there).
Are you sure you're not a member of the Reform party?
