I have gone along to the polling station and I have written on my ballot paper.
This is just to show that I am not too lazy to go and vote......and that it isn't
apathy on my part......but a lack of suitable candidates that warrant my vote.
If voting were compulsory and there was a space for 'none of the above' I would have no quibble, but to make voting compulsory without that.....well, I would continue to spoil my vote.
I always thought that your vote was secret anyway......so would compulsory voting mean that the authorities could determine how you had voted?
