    We have compulsory voting in Australia.

    Presently we have a centre left government. They demolished our centre right party at the last election, they’re pretty much non-viable now.

    I understand why you might be reluctant to force idiots to vote, but it tends to have a normalising effect given that idiot votes are kind of white noise.
