# I want to know how this works
because my instinctive reaction to compulsory voting is that uninformed twats (as a whole) would decide the vote

yet it must work in countries that have it

# It's compulsory in Australia
On one hand, politicians don't just pander to old people or special interest groups "because they're the only ones that vote", but on the other hand it turns into a bit of a popularity contest sometimes.

# see, that kinda makes sense
I tend to think that Britain is one of the most politically apathetic nations there is because we are becoming a bit lazy and selfish

# Aye.
Make it compulsory with a none of the above option.

When the politicians see a majority of people don't want any of them it might make them sit up and take stock of what they are doing.

# Yes, like me, you were watching Brewster's Millions on Sunday :D
However, that was different from my proposal as that was just another party.

With the none of the above section, it would just be registered abstinence.
