Topic: We should introduce compulsory voting
it is important that every voice is heard when it comes to elections. otherwise we cannot be sure the government really represents the people.
it is not democratic to force voting. people should have the right to decide if they want to vote.
it is not right to force people that do not want to participate in voting to do so.
it is our right to choose not to vote if we disapprove of the choices
it is the duty of eveyone to be aware of the political situation and have your say for your benefit
it is the right of an individual on whether they want to act on their right to vote, or not.
it is the right of the individual whether they vote, as much as who they vote for. not voting is a choice, a protected right in a free country and can't be trampled on.
it sends a worthwhile message; that your vote and your opinion is important to a democratic decision. a democracy cannot be representative of the people if vast portions of some demographics don't vote
it should be an individual choice to decide whether they have enough interest in politics to want or not want to cast their vote.
it should be an individual choice who to vote for, or indeed if to vote at all. the state has no role to coerce anyone into participating in elections if they do not want to.
it should be everyone's responsibility to vote so there is a fair representation at the polling station rather than just a small percentage deciding the fate of everyone.
it should be introduced as many people do not vote which reduces the turnout
it should be the right of the individual whether to vote or not to vote.
it will require people to learn what the politicians stand for
it would ensure that elections are fair if everyone votes
it would give a real representation of who citizens want in office
it would help prevent recounts of elections and make things more fair.
it would lead to governments better reflecting the public
it would make sure everyone with a strong opinion will have their voice heard.
it would make sure that all elections are fair.
it would make sure that there is a large group of people  with assorted backgrounds voting
it would make sure that we have presidents who the people actually want.
it's  important that everyone  have a say by voting.  if everyone had to vote we would have a fair view of what everyone thought about who should be elected, not just those who could be bothered to turn up.
less and less people are voting which means we do not get a fair representation of who we have as a government so people need to say what they think.
looking at the current state of politics around the world it is evident that democracy only exists through vigilance. compulsory voting would help to keep democracy alive when under threat.
making this a law would provide a greater stability of our government
making voting compulsory goes fundamentally against democratic government. a choice not to vote is as valid a choice as voting for a party.
making voting compulsory is not very democratic but is authoritarian.
mandatory voting is the best way to ensure that elected officials truly reflect the will of the people.
