Where our voting system goes wrong is not taking into account the votes that are not cast. It doesn’t matter why. What matters is that something like 35% of the voters do not cast a vote.

But forcing people to vote under pain of a fine or even prison is just about the level of this hair brained government who I might add are in place on a minority vote.

I get the distinct impression that Labour KNOWS that they will not get in next time and maybe not even last the term so they are putting forward as many daft schemes as they can so that the next government will be lumbered with them.

Ever wondered why we have this 30 years rule?
