They have a form of PR where everyone has a vote, but you can earn extra votes by improving the country. The list he has is a little old-fashioned these days:
1) Basic - everyone gets this at 21
2) Education - finishing a course of higher education
3) Foreign experience - earning a living outside the country for two yers or more
4) Family vote - raising two or more children to the age of 14 without divorcing
5) Earning achievment - If you earn over a certain amount a year
6) Religous officials
7) The Queen's vote - only awarded in recognition of something pretty spectacular
That would mix things up a bit. It'd certianly need updating.
