[Margaret Pilkington]

It is compulsory in Australia to vote. The folks there are fiercely against people who do not use their vote. If you lived in Australia and didn't know who to vote for.... then you could always go and tick all the candidates......that would spoil your vote......so even though you have voted your vote would not be counted.

I think people need to be accountable........the Elected AND the Electorate.......and I don't see anything wrong in voting being made compulsory.
