If a party has a vote transfer deal set up its published so you know exactly who you're voting for and how that vote might be transferred.

Its not so hard really.

Sounds like we're not the ones that need political reform...

Compulsory voting and votes that get punted sounds like a great way to legitimize whatever trash politicians vote for. Can't complain since it's what you voted for amirite? It's a system designed to stifle dissent.

Its still better than having a choice of only two parties to vote for.

We have as many choices as we want, including the choice to not legitimize the government by voting. I happen to be registered as a Libertarian Party member.

I didn't vote at the last election.

Went up, signed off, took my ballot paper and dropped it straight in the box. Didn't even need to do that, but it felt better.

You still had to take time out of your day to do that.

Im never gonna enroll fuck that. fuck the threat of a fine if i dont vote.

Spark: It's just annoying knowing "oh lulz heres a fine for not voting." If people didn't want to vote in the first place they shouldn't have to. They have a right to vote, not an obligation to.

Australia pretty much has 2 parties so I don't know what dilbert is getting his panties tied in a knot.

Most countries also have terribly trained forces, or not enough logistics to keep fighting for more than a couple weeks....

Reference the UK and their "seasonal" carrier planning, Tomahawk shortage in Libya, and lack of trained Eurofighter strike pilots. 
...and the UK has one of the more respected militaries in the world!
Well, the cold war ended a while ago, British armed forces have been extensively engaged for over a decade now, and they weren't really designed to fight more than a few weeks as thats the probable maximum length of any future major conflict.

Meddling in three ME countiries simultaneously was never in the plan for the current British military.
I think reality may have fractured your crystal ball.

thanks, didn't know that. yet this makes it even weirder that the US can keep the best grades while for example ireland is downgraded although they are supported by money from the EU.
