Do you also favour aged welfare folk being denied the vote.
Paul1405,
Yes, anyone who is paid from Public coffers ! Only those who actually produce goods & services i.e. wealth for the nation, should be voting !
If it weren't for so many overpaid & overrated goods/services, there'd be enough capital to distribute for Nation-building infrastructure. if people earn enough to pay for for goods & services, they'll pay for what they want/need. Presently, far too much funding is handed to irresponsible projects by irresponsible & negligent bureaucrats.
The whole psyche has to change if people want a better outcome.

Dear Paul,

I do not consider mandatory voting in terms of which party could win or lose as a result: forcing people to do things, making it a crime even to remain home in bed, is a shameful and unacceptable abuse. Mandatory voting is the young cousin of conscription.

forcing people to do things,
Yuyutsu,
Forcing is vastly different to reminding people to do their duty of cooperation !

Yuyutso,
People demand the right to be in this symbiosis called society but they don't believe in the responsibilities & restraints associated with it !

Dear Individual,

«Forcing is vastly different to reminding people to do their duty of cooperation !»

Right - just what China is telling the Uyghurs!

«People demand the right to be in this symbiosis called society»

"CALLED", this is the key word here!

Symbiosis between the wolf and the lamb.

The wolf deciding that their society includes the lamb, or for that matter any weaker creature in "their" valley - when had the lamb any choice over who should be their partners in society?

I prefer an honest lion over a cunning wolf who not only eats us but also tries to make mockery of our intelligence.

Yuyutsu,
The Wolf being greedy & the Lamb being greedy ! However, it's the lamb that bleats !
