Fines based on net worth/income.

As for turnout, Australia's mandatory voting system easily overshadowed the UK turnout:

2025 Australia federal election: 90.7% 2024 UK general election: 59.9%

The Au fine for not voting is only 20AUD, but I feel that they vote on Saturdays and employers have to give paid leave for voting helps the most.

I wonder how they will monetise this feature..

Agree, without scrapping FPTP nothing changes.

Other changes that should be in this bill:

Elections held on a weekend, all shops closed. Mandatory voting. Massive fines for not voting. Scrapping of voter ID requirements.

Incredible, I thought I had heard all the bullshit but then something new comes along.

Truly, every day is a learning day.
