Speculation in the UK that the introduction of preferential voting led to compulsory voting has been a mystery to Australian observers; the theory is completely absent from eight decades of writing on the subject.

    Good article. But why would politicians enact a system that disagvantages them in favour of being more equal? They'd have no reason to, unless met by fierce protests. And Canadians are too compalcent for that.

    ... An interesting, related video. Very applicable to our election.
