Yes nothing reeks of democracy more than forcing people to vote, I would be in favour of incentives to vote, like higher or lower council tax depending on if you vote, we could call it the democracy rebate or we could adopt one of Australia's incentives, the democracy sausage

We could also try and make it easier to vote instead of harder. E.g. voting on weekends, whats so vital about Thursdays? And online voting.

Long been of favour of pr, we had our chance with it but the public knew best and bought into the main parties wishes to maintain the status quo
