Because we haven't yet become that sort of retrograde authoritarian state.
Australia has compulsory voting. Retrograde maybe, but I don't think its an authoritarian state.
I think its a good idea
Lebowski-
Really?
Last time my mates went back they said you could only buy 4 drinks at once from the bar and they have a pretty strong record when it comes to dealing with immigrants they don't deem suitable.
Not saying it's Putins Russia, but I don't see them as an example to follow. Nor a society that at the moment seems to value individual autonomy.
I think its a good idea
Why?

Because we haven't yet become that sort of retrograde authoritarian state.
Why should someone else dictate an individuals movements and impinge on their right to, or not to, vote?
If you want to start forcing citizens to go somewhere and do something why not compulsory litter picking?
