People who choose not to vote, or can't be bothered voting, get the results they deserve. For a true democracy, the voting population has to be consistent across the board, and only compulsory voting can give this a fair chance of happening. You can't legitimately say "I didn't vote for this" if you didn't vote for anything at all.

In Belgium and Australia (and a few others) it is not.
If you have no opinion, just cast a blank vote. It costs less effort than filing taxes. The benefit of more representative representation is substantial.
Nothing gets a control freaks panties wet like forcing people to do what they don't want to.
Originally posted by @wajomaIf there is a "vote for none" option, why do they not settle the argument by putting that first? I assume it's not because they're worried about "None of the below" actually winning.
