no, it should not. If I don't want to vote, then I shouldn't have to. After all, democracy is about choice, correct?

If people do not wish to vote, they have that right. Compulsory democracy is a contradiction in terms.

No, because democracy means choice. Forcing people to vote removes their choice.

I don't think there are enough voting machines if everyone 18 and over voted. The lines would be horrendous! :eek:

Yes, because you get a much better representation of the total population.

How did you decide that this thread was referring to NS nations and not real ones?

I'll hazard a guess it might have been because the title was the same as the issue. I'm (obviously) not Katganastan, so wait for their answer.
