freebooter posted:I can see homeless not voting, but in practice we don't have anything like minorities/poor/youth not voting. Turnout is always 90%+. I was talking to a coworker in the UK about it and she said, "yeah, I suppose you'd just vote rather than get the fine." Which had never really occurred to me: since you know voting is compulsory, and everybody votes, it's just the done thing. The idea of not voting is weird. I imagine for most people it's thought of more as an unavoidable errand than a civic duty, but whatever works. (Also having an elected upper house and preferential voting means that your vote matters way more than in the UK, where the majority of the population is effectively disenfranchised by their local demographics.) Helps as well that you have to try quite hard to avoid voting. There is easy postal voting, early voting stations open for weeks beforehand, and lots of physical locations on election day. Last year at the election there were three places within five minutes walk of my house. I think every democracy should follow a similar system. While you legally have to vote, the fact it's a blind ballot means that you can just put in a blank/invalid ballot if you don't want to so in practical terms its just a way of ensuring as many citizens as possible are given the opportunity to vote if they want to.

Mackers posted:Wow this thread got depressing You heard me. If you lot keep whining and lamenting about how Britain is hosed because of Tories and Brexit, then pack up and emigrate to greener pastures. But if you don't want to move out and stay here and keep bawling, then to me you don't have the conviction to want to escape your lovely situation. So shut up.

The other option is en masse migration to Canada and Australia so our respective socialist parties might finally be forced to get a socialist leader. (or recognise that travel and migration is largely the purview of the wealthy and privileged, and that staying in the UK, building a movement and supporting strong unions and community action is more important than feeling sorry for yourself)

you have to wonder what goes through the mind of a person whose advice to people worried about losing access to public healthcare and end up in a society where the rich are free to gently caress over the poor with impunity is to move to the USA.

If labor were still competent at being a leftist opposition, then I suppose this wouldn't be as much of a problem if you could channel your righteous anger into the polls. But for some reason it's not, right?

I'm actually going to say yes they are, most definitely more so than comparable movements in the land of the free. Of course these days I don't live in either America or the UK so consider this a third point of view. Also ur dumb.

If it helps Australia also has a housing bubble about to burst, even worse than Canada's will. So you know, once it does feel free to buy up all our land and become the new rentier class.
