Elections

Sep 24, 2004 13:32

With elections both here in Australia and also in the US of A. It seems that we are all getting the hype and getting bored with it. We do have an amazing advantage here. Everybody does vote here [thats the idea!!].
Voting is compulsory. It is not in America.
What percentage actually vote there? Does anyone know?
After the last election [in the USA] and the creative counting in florida depends on a handful of those who actually make the effort to vote.
I don't accept the argument that you have the right to not vote [too many lives have been lost in gaining this right.] But I do accept that when voting you do have the right to not vote formally.
What does everyone think?
Tony
