Of course not. What a ridiculous suggestion.
Choosing not to vote is a valid choice to make. It's not one I tend to make, but it's valid nonetheless.
Compulsory voting smacks too much of Big Brother for me.

If the 20 that can't arsed believe they have nothing to vote for then you have a different argument - that's why the Swiss have referendums. And they haven't turned into a bunch of rabid Nazis either.
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!

IMO, voting is a privilege, and one that we take far too lightly, BUT, and its a big but, coercing people into exercising the vote is again IMO, infriging on liberties.
Its one thing passing laws to prevent and regulate behaviours, but to force actions, a step too far.

Next comes compulsory testing of your knowledge of the issues to make sure you vote the right way.
Gotta love the way the way the anti-democratic arseholes lecture us on why we should vote. Then argue with what we voted.
If that happens in general politics when there are no minimum-turnout safeguards you can end up with extremists in power there too.
Saying people only have themselves to blame doesn't help when it's too late to fix the problem.
