Compulsory voting is ok as long as there are three extra boxes on the ballot paper:-H. Haven’t got a clue

D2 Don’t care

And there, in a nutshell, is why compulsory voting doesn’t really work.
Everybody SHOULD vote, but not because they’ve been forced to. They should just get off their arses and vote because even in 2019 there are so many countries in the world that don’t allow a democratic vote. Thankfully, the UK isn’t one of them.
Just imagine . . . what if you weren’t allowed a vote? Would you want one?
