Hey mate

All I was saying is that it is a failing of your system in that the most poular candidate overall didn't win. (Al Gore in total got more votes (not states) than george w bush) which was all I said). About the compulsory part. It is not compolsory to vote just to rock up on the day which if I recall is not the way you guys work.

I also had heard that this happened last election so yeah but how can you expect a proper perspective when turning up is non compolsory.
