take them away from criminals and certain other categories eg people whose greatgrandparents were not borne here.
As borne means carried or supported, I fail to understand why only those non-criminals whose great grandparents were immigrants or imported slaves should be allowed to vote in your great scheme. What about us poor souls whose grandparents happened to be indigenous? As slavery was abolished in the empire 200 years ago, your electorate would be exceedingly small and shrinking rapidly.

Either that or your intellect and/or literacy level is/are commensurate with your apparent grasp of modern constitutional democracy.
