Yep, people who complain about political apathy here in Aus have no idea how bad it gets elsewhere.

Yes we manage to keep a much large percentage of the population involved in the political process by having everyone turn up at the polling station. Sure we have a lot of low information voters, but we also increase the percentage of the population that pays attention to the issues - at least around election times.
