Make voting in UK elections compulsory

Petition Details

Democracy is broken, many people don't bother to vote because they are disillusioned. We keep hearing about poor voter turn out at elections, it is time to make a change. This system has been used with success in Australia for nearly 100 years, where turn out is usually 90% plus.
