    It might be a bad idea to force people to vote
    cause a lot of low-IQ types and the young uns would vote for the communist parties
    like SF SP WP SWP and the greens.

    And i see nothing wrong with it, also i would lower the age to 16 as in fairness alot of the 16 yr ols now are more knowledgable
    than the 60 yr olds

    no way ber

    teenagers don't have a clue they all would try an vote based a cool video they saw on youtube
    Most of them have been succesfuuly brainwashed it can take up to 5-10 years to deprogram them.
    assuming they have not lost all reason.
    The voting age should be rasied to 35.

    Bro I think you got it the wrong way around. The older ppl get the easier they are to manipulate.

    You start out in life non-coherent, dribbling, drooling and someone has to wipe your arse for you. When you start getting older, you begin to become non-coherent....

    Ah... there's a point here I've inadvertantly stumbled upon methinks...?

    Politics seems to be for the middlemen/women

    I would say go at least one further to 16, though this would be a step in the right direction.
