Denmark has 85+ without compulsery voting, because we have more than one party.
The US only issue is that you have fpp. Solving that will solve the rest, compulsery voting will just hide it and make sure it is never sold.
- camgunz 8y agoYeah I do think there is definitely disillusionment in US politics that drives down turnout. If we did something like ranked choice voting that might help a lot, and if you think about compulsory voting without a robust set of political parties, it starts to feel a little corrupt. But Denmark is a lot different than the US. I don't mean to come off like a "USA #1" asshole here but there's maybe 6 million people there. It's a lot harder to set up an election system for some 200 million voters spread across thousands of miles of wildly different environments.
