For the longest time, I thought mandatory voting should be the way to go... no longer do I feel that way.
Let me see if I can streamline my opinion here:
If a person that's eligible to vote in this country is too stupid to understand why voting is so important and too apathetic to want to take the time to vote, then their not voting is probably a good thing for the country.
I agree. i believed as you for the longest time but after reading several articles that gave good reason otherwise I've changed my mind. While you might be able to compel people to vote you can't force them to actually educate themselves and make considered choices. I'd rather people who don't actually think about what their voting on stay home.
