Topic: We should introduce compulsory voting
the best way to make sure that the voting process works is to ensure that everyone does their share and votes.  we have the right to choose or leaders and wasting that should not be allowed.
the country is run by people who are selected by voters.  all people have a stake in the government so all should be required to vote and show their opinions.
the democratic process is all about freedom of choice, and voting should be a voluntary process too.
the introduction of compulsory voting is essential and will ensure that everybody takes ownership of election results.
the more people participate in the voting process, the better it is for democracy and society as a whole.
the number of people participating in voting across all elections has been steadily declining  year on year so we need compulsory voting to ensure representative elections
the only way to have a true democracy is if every voice is heard.
the penalties on not voting would bring backlash from the society
the people should be heard and introducing compulsory voting will give you a realistic picture of what they want
the right for every citizen to vote was a hard battle and now they have that right they should use it.
the right to abstain from voting is as important as the right t vote in a democracy
the right to vote is a democratic right, it is not however democratic to force people to vote, people can abstain if they wish
the vote is a universal right and therefore must be respected and supported
the vote is the basis of democracy and must be mandatory
the whole point of democracy is to give people the choice who or who not to vote for
there is no way a person should be forced to vote in a compulsory voting ruling as not everyone stays versed in the political world which would end up with people just guessing the the best person may loose.
this country believes in free will.  no person should be forced to vote.  even by not voting a person is making a statement about their opinion of the country.
this is a free country and citizens should have the right to vote or not to vote.
this would ensure that everyone's opinion is being represented and that everyone will have to think and take part in politics and how it affects them.
this would help get many more people to the polls to vote
to make an election truly fair,  as in to have a candidate elected that truly represents the people, everyone should have to vote.
too many people do not take responsibility for their part in democracy
turn out figures are unacceptably low, we need to motivate people to be active voters for a representative democracy
voter apathy is the enemy of democracy, for a representative vote we must encourage voting as efficiently as we can
voter turnout these days are dropping steadily so we need to make everyone vote to show the true representation of the people
voting and not voting is an exercise of freedom of expression and speech, therefore protected. creating laws forcing voting violates the rights of individuals.
voting is a choice and forcing a person to do so when they do not really like who is running defeats the whole purpose.
