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! -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jim Moran Sent: 07 May 2011 08:29 To: Dave Sowden Cc: LEEDS List Subject: Re: [LU] [Non LU] Good omen? 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?
