surely it's undemocratic, how can it not be? You're damn well going to have democracy whether you want it or not! Only Australians can think that is democracy!

Andy, the ballot paper would need to have space to express dissatisfaction with the system or the candidates.

There are not too many laws that actually force people to do things. I can only think of things such as pay taxes, fill in a census form and, ironically as far as this question goes, provide your details for the compilation of the register of electors. There may be others, but they are usually government-related administrative tasks. Most legislation prevents you from specific activities rather than compels you to undertake them.

Compulsory voting seems quite popular in South America. Personally I like the North Korean model. Voting there is compulsory but there is only one candidate on the ballot paper.

That aside, since the no government is likely to entertain the "None of the above" option, I think mass abstention is a useful tool for the electorate to use when they fancy none of the options offered. i think I'll start a campaign because at the moment, that seems the best option.

what do you expect? A totally free democracy in a prisoner-driven society?

I think free democracy should be a reward for having one's hair cut in the prescribed fashion. :-)
