 Re: hey, all of you Australians...
everyone pays more attention because they have to vote. not to say you cant just go in and drop a blank form in the box...but generally the population has a good idea of the workings of all the major political parties.
manditory voting is an excellent idea which should be implemented in america so you dont end up with a redneck stealing the election.
some of my friends are "too cool" to vote. i hate them and they arent really my friends. people in africa risk their lives and travel 100's of miles just to vote. so i think its important to have a role in who is going to be controlling your country for the next 4 years.
