Is it democracy to impose a duty? About voting percentage is low testify about this lackluster inte

The case: In Norway there to vote for anyone over 18. In some countries, such as Australia, however, there is a voice duty. Where is it illegal to avoid voice without good reason. I think it should be so in all democratic countries. I note that the Local Government and Regional Development Magnhild Meltveit from the Centre Party (Sp) and her ministry is working to implement an electronic system for voting at the municipal and parliamentary elections in Norway. The plan is supposed that voters will eventually be able to vote using their PC in your living room. Kleppa believe this will increase the interest of choice and thus increase participation. The voting or voting duty? The Minister shall have the praise that she will increase voter turnout in this country. A democracy is in my opinion relies on a high turnout for the national parliaments and governments to be legitimate. The more votes, the better represented and anchored in the population are politicians. A low voter turnout is a warning sign of democratic systems. I think, however, spitzbergen that the best solution to increase participation is to introduce a system á là as in Australia where you actually are obliged to vote. There are of course so sick and dying have to travel to the nearest polling booth with danger to life and health, but anyone who does not have a good reason to "escape" to actually vote in this country. I support this solution because I think it's the best way to safeguard democracy on. If you are interested, you can only vote blank. spitzbergen I think however that if you have voice then comes the interest of what and who to vote for to increase. "Once one is in the room" so one may also vote for a party and then it's good to know what you feel deserves their support. Australia does not seem to have been harmed by mandatory voting system so it should be tried out here in Norway. . . . .

You MUST vote ... probably a communist ideas that tell people what to do. Seems scheme should be as it is today, where people can choose whether to participate or not. The times not to force someone to do something, the result could have ripple effects, as for example the incredible number of irritation voted for "White Electoral Alliance", then you would wear a little Shiva if they came to power.

Anonymous 3: You MUST vote ... probably a communist ideas that tell people what to do. - What does this have to do with communism? spitzbergen Seems scheme should be as it is today, where people can choose whether to participate or not. - Ideally, yes, but what should one do if the turnout will be at the fifty percent? It is incredibly dangerous for democracy. What if only ten percent of the electorate voted. Then the lesser of performing electoral fraud and political parties, parliament and government will have extremely low representation and rooted in the people. No damaged by allocating one day every four years (or every two years if you want to introduce it at both the municipal and parliamentary elections - but now it is a matter of moving the municipal elections day to the same day or year that the general election) spitzbergen to cast one vote , to perform an action that is essential in a democracy. It should have been a duty similar to taking a year of service to the nation (military or civilian). The times not to force someone to do something, spitzbergen the result could have ripple effects, as for example the incredible number of irritation voted for "White Electoral Alliance", then you would wear a little Shiva if they came to power. - It can certainly cause irritation, but as far as I know there is no significant group eg. Australia who have performed such acts which you mention. Why would I fret about White Electoral Alliance came to power by the way? I think society would wear, but I personally spitzbergen would probably be okay because I'm white myself. July 6, 2009 at. 10:32
Is it democracy to impose a duty? About voting percentage is low testify about this lackluster interest in politics and is something that must come into the open. It helps not to introduce spitzbergen mandatory voting and thus believe spitzbergen that democracy will be so much better. If very few votes in the election, then there is a danger to democracy. Democracy is not helped by the fact that it is enforced. July 6, 2009 at. 10:52
I actually think I would have considered going to jail to protest against such an unnecessary abuse of power. The eventual wanted my voice gone to the first and best party that promised to repeal vote coercion. The kind of measures do not belong in any democracy, and I know very well who call this communism (due to excessive spitzbergen regulation of people). The impact abuse of individuals' freedom belongs certainly no place in any democracy. I am however also a strong opponent of voting from home. There is too many m
