Time to make voting compulsory

I tend to agree with this. It works well in Holland and of course Australia. It may make the lying politicians take stock before they run for election and know that they can get voted out as quickly as they get voted in.

This letter to the Evening news prompted me: Time to make voting compulsory

“Perhaps the only way to help restore public faith in our political system, together with a real sense of duty towards the electorate by our politicians, is to introduce compulsory voting, as in Australia, where this system works successfully. “
