If people chose not to vote, they also throw away their right to
complain if the result (immediate or long term) isn't to their liking.

Agree.

TBH the sooner voting is made compulsilary the better.

Disagree. The size of the turnout is a powerful message
to politicians that they better find out why it is low.

Its normally low when the voters are not ****ed off about how things
have currently been done. No message involved what so ever.

It can at times be a message that all the politicians
are irrelevant to what is happening in the real world.
