Yes, you're right. We get very low turnouts over here too. They just
can't be bothered.

Voting everywhere should be compulsory, just as it is in Australia. One
can still turn in a blank ballot paper, or one can scrawl obscenities on
it, but at least one has to show up.

Nonsense. That would make slaves of the people (compelled service). ....and
why should the stupid be forced to vote? There are too many who volunteer.
