Hi Kumar. It's weird thinking to make voting compulsory. I assume non-voters would be skewed towards one vote or another, so it should serve some government's re-electoral prospects if they were to make it optional, with the hope that those who don't bother voting would have voted for the opposition.

PS: Do you think your Moslem family and friends would want to drink my blood? As per Sarman's madness. I should warn them that my blood is not acceptable for transfusions since it might be contaminated with mad cow disease [from our time in London in 1986]. Hmmmm... maybe Islamic Jihadists have been drinking Mad Cow contaminated blood and that explains their ideology.
