Just to be clear i voted to leave and i could not agree more with this statement .Voting in referendums should be compulsory and i think in a split decision like this one we should have another one with compulsory voting and if still split then the status quo stays in place.I also think that allowing the government to campaign or even any group to campaign is wrong in referendums we should just be given facts like Daddy says above,enough to allow an informed decision.

Compulsory voting is a pipedream that should be avoided at all costs. What are you going to do if they don't? Drag them to the polling station? Are you going to watch while they place their cross? What if they spoil their paper?
Voting is a right that each and every person (legally) in this country has, they also have the right not to vote if they so wish.
