RE: Compulsory Voting

I suppose it could have its benefits - as long as there was an 'abstain' box you could tick (ie the equivalent of not voting) if that really was the position you wanted to communicate - for instance the Brexit referendum could've gone very differently with compulsory voting since, imo, it was complacency that lost it for our side (Remainers)... that vs Brexiteers having their first real voice in years, not too surprising in hindsight that they'd come out in droves, but sadly we didn't also.
