It would be reasonable to try issuing shares in the country/government to current voters (or a subset) and making those shares transferrable

This is not to say that I really believe in the shareholder voting model of corporations either, but it may be an improvement.

Regarding voting, generally: in tests, the best decisions tend to come from groups of no more than 7 people.

hmm, property owners may actually want mass immigration (short-sightedly),but they won't want to dilute their voting rights

That's true. Normally I think of immigration as dilution, but under the shareholder system it would be less dilutive.

on the bright side, the immigration that does happen wouldn't result in more people automatically given voting rights
