Mandatory voting was introduced in queensland austrailia in 1914.

to force
supporters of
Digby Danham's liberal government to the polls. while it was expected from them to
abstain
in 1915 election ,because they were disappointed and dissatisfied of thier
reprisantatives.
Wile labor's supporters would turnout in large numbers.The plan succeeded in
raising voters
turnout (from 75% to 88%) 1915.It failed, however, to save Danham's liberals,who
lost to labors.
as you can see mandating voting didn't change the outcome,and I'm saying that
higher quality government
tends to cause higher turnout,but higher turnout doesn't cause higher quality
government,which lead us
to the motion where we say voting should not be mandatory
as you can see the motives for the introducing the mandatory voting had nothing to
do with high principle
rather than party politics.and then the proponents would argue that higher turnout
means more democracy?
and after I have said all of th

One of the most popular theories in the argument against compulsory voting is the
lifeboat theory. The theory states that 11
people are on a lifeboat with no skipper, navigator, map, or compass, and their
provisions will only last long enough for one
attempt at a journey to dry land. Every person in the boat develops a theory
regarding the direction to land and safety, but no
one is 100% sure if any of the theories will work.

The occupants of the lifeboat decide that because the situation is so terrible,
everyone should have the right to vote on a theory.
However, only one person casts a vote because that person is the only one certain
of one specific theory. The rest of the
occupants are undecided, knowing that just because they can cast a vote does not
mean that they should if they are not certain of their respective choices.

If the other occupants of the lifeboat were forced to cast votes for their
preferred theories,
they would have given empty votes.Because they could not choose, they decided
to leave the decision up to one voter who was sure of one theory. Had the other
occupants of the lifeboat given empty,
compulsory votes, they could have made a decision under pressure that led to their
death. For this reason, many individuals
choose not to vote because they are uncertain of their choices or harbor equal
faith for all parties on the ballot.

whether we like it or not.The decisions of government impact the services we

recieve, the amount of taxes we pay
and the plans that are made for the nation's future.these are importent issues and,
since no one is completely isolated
from the actions of government. one should do their homework befor heading to the
polls. othewise their desision would be
harmfull not only for them but also for everyone.The election is an opportunity to
make the country better but it's also
chance to make it worse.therefore voting it should not be mandated for
people.Instead, there could be other measures taken
to raise the number of people voting and it's not about the amount but about the
quality and that all starts with education.
