That makes it interesting because it is quite the contrary these sides of the world. Here it is mostly the underprivileged have the time to go to the polling stations while the seemingly enlightened don’t care a rat’s ass about what they consider a waste of precious time.

But I can see now why we disagree about the benefits of enforced voting. You think it will increase the numbers of educated people voting. I think the opposite.. |
It is quite surprising looking at the choices the educated make when it comes to voting, I do not mean to question their judgment but why complain about a government you voted for in the first place. According to me education transcends school to include self education the bottom line remains one is informed about the choices he/she is making, consequently there should no room for complaints thereafter.

I don't know how you find out the facts about people's level of education and whether or not they vote. |
Somehow you are agreeing that most of the educated are skeptical on the idea of voting and I did not say anything about the levels of education therefore I cant tell where you got it from.
