compulsory voting is fucking retarded
+1

Agreed

When people dont give a fuck about voting, they vote for Pauline Hanson to avoid the fine, and then what happens is we get a fucking racist troll bitch in parliament

I think it's the racism

"You are nothing but an ungrateful, treacherous, yellow slanty-eyed little Vietnamese whore. We have had enough of your lot with their drug peddling and crime. So piss off now".

I wasn't defending her. She's obviously a giant nut job, but quotes like the above always amuse me. Especially when she's complaining about not being taken seriously.

Except the fact is that that didn't happen under compulsory voting.

Way to negate yourself dipshit.

Personally, I don't feel that the voting age should be lowered at all. Many have argued that votiting at 16 should be optional, because only the people that are politically passionate in that age group would vote. Let's not forget the vast majority of people who would necessarily be voting at that age would be doing so sheerly because of parental pressure to share parents votes.

voting should be optional. see when it was brought up that 16 year olds should be able to vote, i immediately thought back to year 10 and the amount of dead-shit/fucking idiots we had in our year. the idea of them having a say on our political institutions makes me mad. then i thought, wait a second, the fact is they still are more than likely drooling idiots today.

summary: people are dumb and it saddens me
