Seems like it'll work then

Originally posted by Frenchie I strongly disagree. If you're not much into politics and don't follow the races or commercials, or rallies then why go and vote? You don't know what you're voting for, you wont vote for what's necessarily more important, and you could end up being the vote that fucks the good party over. Now, "good party" is different to everyone but if you don't know anything about politics, or not enough, then why make it a law to vote?

well, you dont HAVE to vote. you just have to get your name checked off. you can stick the ballot paper in your tight little muff and nobody will care.

you should be forced to vote, it means there's no drive to get people to the ballots. it means you dont have a disproportional electorate where only the rich and the educated are heard.

compulsory voting adds to the democratic principle rather than detract from it.

In a sane electoral system, there would be a "none of the above" option that subtracted a vote from each candidate's total.

Yes.

Now, do you have any challenging questions?

The "none of the above" candidate would win every single election ever.
