Stripping the unemployed of the vote reminds of a sketch (or it may have been a film) performed by Peter Cook, he played the part of the Prime Minister and at a cabinet meeting declared that he had the solution to the high unemployment figures - kill the unemployed - cut to long queues of unemployed at Beachy Head cliffs, waiting their turn to jump.
Seriously though, not enough of the electorate participate as it is, barring the unemployed would surely make matters worse, think of the conspiracy theories if there was mass unemployment and it really wasn't the government's fault.
