Sorry, one "seat" per metaphorical seat in Parliament.
Perhaps I should have said "arse-space".

Your reasoning is flawless
unfortunately one of the drawbacks of democracy is that fuckwits can vote too.

Which is why I advocate an enlightened oligarchy based on restricted power of vote.
Power to vote would be granted by an examination which would include, but not be limited to, testing you to make sure you actually know what it is you're voting for.

Many, many people wouldn't bother to sit the test.
