CMV: Most people aren't educated well enough on most political topics hence their opinion on how things should be done are irrelevant

I've got this mindset that most people, *that doesn't have an academic background in topics that are discussed in politics*, opinions are irrelevant. The only opinions that actually matter, that are relevant to most political issues, are the ones that come from people with an academic background in the appropriate field. 

If we're discussing law, only the opinions of people that has graduated law school should actually matter. 

If we're discussing climate, only the opinions of people with a degree in climate studies & meteorology should matter.

If we're discussing school, only people that has a teaching degree should be listened to when discussing school issues. 

I am saying this because they know what they are talking about, and yes, of course there will be people with a degree who will say stupid things that doesn't make any sense and there will be people without a degree who says things that totally makes sense. 

**Edit:** The only thing that I may equate to education is years of experience. For example: farmers who has worked their entire life growing crops, most are not likely to have an education in agriculture, but they do have lots of experience.

I am not saying that people shouldn't be allowed to have and form their own opinions, I'm just saying that their opinions should be taken with a grain of salt considering they don't have an education in said field.

Most people will say my view on opinions and democracy is faulty, and sure, maybe it is but I don't believe in the notion of giving people that are not qualified a platform to express their opinions when they really aren't deemed experts or has a background in said topic.

Change my view please.

That's a dangerous way of looking at it,  what you're doing is consolidating power at the top and taking the worth out of the voice and experience of everyone that doesn't fit in the class you've decided on, an educational caste system. 

Farmers are affected by climate change. The food production if cities is affected by farmers. Taking the opinions and ideas of farmers with a grain of salt and listening to educated people behind desks without that farm experience is just silly.  You dont need recognised education in specific fields to be experienced in something directly affected by that field. 

Your view is too black and white,  and that doesn't work.  Humans are a grey area.
