    It’s true. I’ve voted in a compulsory nation and the shit you hear in the lines is nuts. A very large portion don’t have any idea what’s politically going on, they’re just voting for someone they like the name of so they don’t get fined. My mother used to vote for groups that directly fucked up her industry. She did not know any of this because she never paid any interest, she just heard one of them say they believe in Jesus.

      As opposed to voters in non-compulsory nations like the US…oh wait.
