Dear Mhaze,

«drive on the left side; stop on red; attend the DMV for an eye-test (if you're of a certain age)»

These are only if you want to drive on a public road.
Assuming the road indeed belongs to the state (which is in doubt, but anyway), if you go on the road despite it belonging to others, then you either obey the owner's conditions for being there or you are trespassing.

These conditions are intended to avoid harming other road users.
You can do nobody harm if you stay in bed at your own home.

«Its that is obviates the needs of the candidates to get them to vote»

That's not a "need" - that's their perverse personal desire.
To avoid a US style hoopla, all you need is to expect political parties to abide by the same privacy and keeping-the-peace laws as expected of anyone else.
Compulsory voting for the reason you mentioned is akin to legislating "it is an offence to walk alone in the street because some thugs there may want to knife you".

Democracy as practised by the Democrats & the Woke in general is the worst form of Dictatorship !

Minority groups couldn't exist without Democracy's funding !

.

In “The Republic” (about 375 BC), Plato wrote that Socrates raised a number of criticisms of democracy. He claimed that democracy is a danger due to excessive freedom.

He also argued that, in a system in which everyone has a right to rule, all sorts of selfish people who care nothing for the people but are only motivated by their own personal desires are able to attain power.

He concluded that democracy risks bringing dictators, tyrants, and demagogues to power. He also claimed that democracies have leaders without proper skills or morals and that it is quite unlikely that the best equipped to rule will come to power.

In 1919, Robert Briffault, a French surgeon and social anthropologist, wrote in his book “The Making Of Humanity” :

« Democracy is the worst form of government. It is the most inefficient, the clumsiest, and the most impractical. No machinery has yet been contrived to carry out in any but the most farcical manner its principles. It reduces wisdom to impotence and secures the triumph of folly, ignorance, claptrap, and demagogy. . . . But there is something even more important than efficiency and expediency — justice. And democracy is the only social order that is admissible, because it is the only one consistent with justice. »

In May 1946 Guy Henson, Director of Adult Education in Nova Scotia, Canada published the phrase that was pronounced almost verbatim by Churchill the following year during his speech in the UK parliament :

« . . . democracy . . . it has even been called the worst form of government, except for all others which have been tried. »

On 11 November 1947, the 29th anniversary of Armistice Day, Churchill declared in Parliament :

« Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time ».

Dear Banjo,

"The worst form of government" must indeed be the just of them all, because this whole concept of government is unjust.

Like squaring the circle, no true philosopher can morally justify this violent idea of uninvited people dictating the choices of others - not even in the name of efficiency, efficiency in achieving objective(s) which the ruled-over victim may never have sought and does not find desirable.

Though majority-rule seems nicer than minority-rule, "majority" means nothing when it is the majority of an imposed arbitrary cohort one never freely chose to associate themselves with.

Government, if left uncontaminated by academic intellectuals would actually be a good system as it would cut out the dictatorial component that is causing the blatant incompetence we experience every day !
