And another thing regarding voting at elections.
There always seems to be a pitifully small amount of the potential electorate that bother to vote. ( I always excercise my god given right to vote). I used to work with a lot of Austrailians a few years ago and I'm sure thay said that voting was mandatory In Oz and you could even get a fine if you didn't vote.
Now i suppose that making people vote against their wishes is un-democratic in itself , but i wonder just how much the worlds political landscape would change if everybdy had to vote by law ?
