Are they wrong though? Just do what they do in Australia force everyone to vote lol. Then you end up with minor governments that barely hold each other together and the opposition always reject the governments policy proposals. Then people say these asses aren't doing shit so they vote for the other part next election and they barely win and then they get all their policies rejected. A never ending circle of swapping and changing and not much getting done because the other party who didn't win feels they have to block almost everything. State governments are even worst here, one will approve a 2billion budget and get contracts signed a month later the new government will cancel the project and pay out the contracts to honour them lol. And all this because 20 people complain about it lol. |
No. They're right, I said they were. It's why it's an issue that needs to be addressed. If you want to make change and be in power you cannot take people for granted.
I'd be fine with that, but I'd compromise to make election day a national holiday, have plenty of voting locations, anything to remove valid excuses people have for not voting.
I'd argue far worse issue is that how legislation is determined. Public opinion matters little, it's all what powerful and influential groups or people want. I'd be for an end to all campaign contributions including by the candidate them self with debates mandatory across forms of media. Policy and ideas should be elevated, not who can raise the most money.
