Reposted by @suman1211.bsky.socialNick Garland @npjgarland.bsky.social · 27/07/20265/ We see compulsory voting as a response to that. Because voting is a duty - if we expect people to pay taxes or do jury service, why don't we expect them to take part in our democratic system? And because many more of us are less well represented because of low and unequal turnout. 1324
Reposted by @suman1211.bsky.socialNick Garland @npjgarland.bsky.social · 27/07/20266/ What we are proposing is an Australia style system, with non-voting coming at the cost of a £10 fine. In Australia, that system has seen turnout fall below 90 percent only once since its introduction over 100 years ago. Similar results in Belgium, Chile, Singapore. 1285
