Prove my core conjecture wrong (or right).
- nickff 5y ago>"Prove my core conjecture wrong (or right). " What is your core conjecture? You seem to be presenting a proposal, not a conjecture. What is your objective? Improved voter participation? Resident engagement? Political discourse? Citizen informed-ness?
- techbio 5y agoSure it gets more people to vote, but for whom, and how are the benefits distributed, and by whom? Not proof, and I may not like the inevitable conclusion, but this would be immediately corrupted by the democracy it intends to improve, if not sooner.
- klyrs 5y agoNot sure what your conjecture is, but it's illegal to not vote in Australia...
- PhoenixReborn 5y agoThere are countries with mandatory voting already (Australia is a good example). It hasn't really changed very much about their elections though.
