    Making voting mandatory will simply be seen as a punishment rather a democratic right. More people are realizing that their vote actually means nothing in real life. Once you have voted, your active participation is no longer required or meaningful. The large global conglomerates and cartels' are in control of any political party and not the citizens who vote for them.
