The reason I ask is that once a person registers to vote in Aussie land, that's it, they are obliged to vote at every federal election for the rest of thier natural.
There was a closed debate in parliament a few years ago, the topic of which was 'Should voting continue to be compulsory?'
It was decided for us by the politicians that yes, the public should be made to vote, because if we were given a choice, nobody would turn up at the polls on election day.
(Side note - That very debate happened just before a small percentage of the Aussie populace suddenly converted to the Jedi religion, which excuses its followers from voting because it goes against the church's beliefs. Coincidence?)
So anyway, I'm curious to know - what's the voter turnout usually like in the UK?

I didn't know there was a dress code.

Of course there is... its the best way for political analysts to gauge trends at the polls.

i wonder if the result would be any different if everyone had to vote. i reckon a bunch of people just aren't voting because they can't trust any politicians so if they all gave the liberal pussies their vote they could win the country

Too much danger of a tie.Of course there is... its the best way for political analysts to gauge trends at the polls.
I wonder how many of the MRL Party original ideas have been adopted. The 24 hour drinking is one.

We'd really need a french branch of the OMRLP.4 wheel drive vehicles will only be allowed to drive off road, therefore stopping mothers picking up their children from school in them when they only live 100 yards down the road. They will also be wrapped in bubble wrap to make them safer.
Oh, wait. We've already got the communists.
Looking for loopholes
There is not a French equivilent? I am surprised (genuinely - I would have thought such a surreal response to politics would be very French)
Is it just me or is this the most lack-lustre election ever? That is two weekends in a row I have wandered into town to find political types to debate my views on why they are wrong (well a boy needs a hobby) to find nothing - not even someone punting leaflets. There are no posters or cards hanging from lamp posts. Has it been cancelled and no one has bothered to tell me?
I suppose they are to be congratulated for not bothering people really.
