ttbn,

"But, you are obviously hell bent on arguing for the sake of arguing, so I'll leave you to it."

Thus avoiding any further discussion on your undemocratic ideas about Compulsory Voting and automatically upholding the integrity of the vote.

Most of us on this thread appear to be relatively Traditional Conservative so we agree on a lot of things. It's just we don't all agree on Compulsory Voting.

But what do I know- I can't even work out the US College Voting System.

An interesting case study is the French they have recently changed to a non-compulsory system from a compulsory system and so it's possible to compare the results of both systems.

Another wacky academic points out this morning that compulsory voting ‘saves us from a Donald Trump’. To me that really means that we are PREVENTED from having a Donald Trump because of compulsory voting.

We are advised that Trump was elected with by only a quarter of eligible voters. Similarly, Brexit passed by only 37% of voters.

Intelligent people, genuinely concerned about their country, make the effort to vote without being forced to. It is the majority drones, voting only because it is compulsory, who are the ones keeping in the useless hacks who brought in compulsory voting because they knew that naturally unintelligent people are easier to manipulate.
