There are countries where voting is mandatory, of course. Ever notice, those are the places that tend to have only one name on the ballot?
&gt;&gt;

Well voting is actually compulsory in Australia where I doubt that they have only one name on the ballot

Personally I think voting SHOULD be mandatory - with one proviso. Every ballot form (or equivalent)  should have a box marked &quot;None of the Above&quot; if you really want to register a protest at what is on offer

If people simply can&#039;t be bothered to drag themselves down to the polling boot every couple of years, they don&#039;t deserve to live in a democracy. There are plenty of examples of more authoritarian and autocratic forms of government in teh world today. Perhaps one of them would be more suitable for them ?</description>

		<description>Tom, Thanks for reading.  

You seem to be confused. Writing about the election is not at all a &quot;privilege&quot; of mine but a Constitutionally protected right to all citizens. 

To vote or not to vote is a privilege in that I could lose my right to vote if I commit a felony. But to reveal if I voted or did not vote in an election or even how I voted will always be my right. 

There are countries where voting is mandatory, of course. Ever notice, those are the places that tend to have only one name on the ballot? Yrs., Richard</description>

		<description>I agree with Tom, if you&#039;re not going to vote, you shouldn&#039;t be complaining!</description>

That you don&#039;t vote means you shouldn&#039;t
have the priveledge to even write about this topic</description>
