  • From an Australian perspective, my proposal is:

    • Eligible to vote at 16.
    • Compulsory voting at 18.
    • A citizen’s vote has a weight of 100% until 20, then drops 5% at each birthday that ends with a 0.

    The reason for the diminishing weight of a vote is to correlate with the diminished exposure political decisions will have on the citizen.









  • This perspective betrays a complete lack of understanding and experience of being chronically suicidal. Inflicting the responsibility of how others conduct themselves on someone, particularly one in a vulnerable state, is beyond repugnant.

    The only effective mechanism for prevention of chronic suicidality is to create an environment in which one can actively, freely, and legitimately choose to participate when they’re at their most vulnerable.
