      Ironic image of course because in the world of Starship Troopers only educated people are allowed to vote.

        I’m not sure I understand what you meant to say. But I just want to point out that the requirement for voting is citizenship, not education, and the criteria for citizenship is public service (as in: joining the armed forces). Rico’s parents for example are educated but not citizens.
