#complusory
Very much enjoyed @quietriotpod.bsky.social Australian election special with Peter FitzSimons.
He answered @pimlicat.bsky.social Q about why complusory voting is a good thing.
The parties don't have to take extreme positions to galvanise their base to vote. They have to go to vote - it's the law.

You can be a prick and an idiot at the same time. Sometimes it's complusory.
Tax incentives like that are obviously always about the transition. What did she expect?

... and posting her registration number is a bit of a daft gaffe too.

A big win for people with HIV in Colombia who will now have access to this medicine for their treatment. And kudos to Colombian government for taking this much needed step of issuing complusory license amid pressure for pharma corporation. We need more of these actions in other countries now. #IDSky

This is 💯 how people interpreted the First Amendment when I was having to moderate comments on a newspaper website, tho’ — not a guarantee against prior restraint of speech on my part, but a guarantee of complusory listening on your part.

Disgust is being weaponized because the lower the turnout the more likely Republicans win.

Complusory voting would cause a revolution.

And this is the abuse that's been recorded via the staff survey (which is non-complusory). I suspect the true figure is worse.

12. Did you enjoy any complusory secondary school readings?
Not really. I'm sure I could on revisit but the compulsory nature as we had a dissection of their themes spoonfed to us was not conducive to enjoyment.

Our Fair deal Flamingo, Worker BEE, and Complusory Chicken might be full of hot air but they are not as inflated as the SSR figures HWU put out this week to justify keeping CR to get rid of a tiny number of staff.

No compulsory redundancy

Keir Starmer has been learning how Modi in India uses their complusory phone ID system. It is of course a perfect system for dictators and authoritarians. Here is a question would people then vote in non authoritarians so an ID system might be non punitive. No because it is all about fear.

Ps: voting is complusory - everyone has to play the game and make the choice - no takebacksie if you want to live here. And we do preferential voting - so no vote is wasted and you get a way more granular feel for what the people actually want.

Media Studies to be a complusory part of the National Curriculum.

(or a ban on umbrellas in built-up areas).
They've finally run out of toffs to stand as PM, your name has been pulled from the hat, what's your one (1) manifesto pledge?

Let's assume UBI, PR & tax/eat the rich are standard. I want your petty policies, your extremely personal grudges, your old man yells at cloud laws

I swear they thought I was finna be str8 cuz I was always layin my head on a titty as a little boy.

They forgot, in their complusory-heterosexuality-induced stupor, that I was also the child who
looked through art history books/encyclopedias for fun.

I was tryna reenact a Renaissance painting.

100% agree. It's unfair that the BBC licence fee to watch BBC is also complusory to watch ANY live TV anywhere in the world.

I had to fill a form on gov uk everytime I enage with them I feel that Big Brother is hoovering up chuncks of me. I lived in other countries where ID was complusory I never had the same feelings in those places. I do not feel the UK govermnment is my government. We need Independence for Scotland.

That's pretty special - and the ice tub isn't complusory. I never thought it would be for me but I'm addicted.

In Australia, not only do we have complusory voting but also preferential voting i.e. its not a first past the post system. I recomend both.
