What sort of bullshit country fines you for not voting? Voting is a right and thus if I did somehow miss it thats my loss in not getting to voice my opinion.
Fuck this country shits me at times.

What sort of a country takes your drivers license off you for not paying the fine for failing to vote???
Kind of unrelated isn't it???
Voting is compulsory as the majority who wouldn't vote are likely to be a similar demographic and would skew the election results towards one party. Voters of the party that would likely benefit would be quite happy but a lot of others would not. Personally I think it should not be compulsory as that should also be your democratic choice.
