People should have to take an intelligence/common sense test to be allowed to 
vote. That way we would get better quality voters and wouldn't get R/tards 
voting for BNP and EDL

I find compulsory voting an affront to freedom of speech.  Or the freedom to
not speak.

If people don't know or don't care about an issue, then it is better they
don't vote and their influence on a vote something people ARE bothered about
is zero.

Still 69% for a NO vote, on a higher than expected turnout, is pretty
resounding.  Pretty resounding whether you measure it FPTP or as a
proportion of voters in an AV way.

Still, never mind chaps, as Labour are SO committed to AV, I am sure they
will have it in their next manifesto so you can vote for it again that way.
I am positive (in a FPTP way, 49%) they will ignore the fact 69% of people
DON'T want it and stick with their principles.  My AV on the matter however
is no they wont because they are more bothered by getting elected regardless
of which principle they have to eject.

Only 4 years to wait for the answer - how exciting!

Or, 26% of the electorate said no, 14% said yes and 60% couldn't be bothered
either way.

How's about a referendum on compulsory voting next time?
