No slam against Australia but I think there are a lot of folks as in the US who really have such a poor understanding of what or who they are voting for it would be better if they just stayed home and not vote at all. Many of these folks in the US don't bother to vote anyway. Making it mandatory may skew the results of a close election for all the wrong reasons.
Any indication this happens in Australia?
