The sooner it is made a legal item the better.
I would rather prefer that people who can't be bothered to vote, are left not to vote.
After all, people voting for "their team" is why we have the issues we have, politicians can do what they want, because they know they have the blind support of masses of people, and only need to pay lip service to swing voters.
People who can't be bothered to vote are very likely the ones to vote stupidly, keep them away please.
Also take votes away from people who reside abroad as they have no idea about issues here anymore. Why they are allowed is beyond me unless it is for work purposes.[/quote]
Because whilst they may reside abroad, they may still pay taxes, or be taking a pension (having paid their NI for their working life).
As to the former, no taxation without representation, as to the latter, give them their money back, or let them keep their vote.
