My contention is that a good political education should be compulsory rather than make voting compulsory. They have it, de facto, in Russia. It all depends on the meaning, in context, of good. In the hands of anyone politically biased, yer actual good is a moveable feast. Yea, Yea. We ain't Russia. OK. So look to US where political education comes in the form of paid adverts. Politics is a belief system. Just like its sister religions. Should RI/RE be compulsory? I can predict the answer, in this parish, to that!
