RE: UK Continues Implementing 1984 As Instruction Manual - Election Commission Wants To "Remove Right To Vote Of Online Trolls"
What a load of bollocks this is. If you are a citizen of somewhere and they force you to pay taxes then you should automatically be given the right to vote for which dickhead should get some of that money. I also think it's bollocks that convicted fellons (correct me if I'm wrong - I remember some youtuber talking about it) aren't allowed to vote in the US even though they aren't in jail.
On the other hand you are forced to vote in Australia, which I also disagree with. Well, by that I mean they force you to be on the electoral roll and get your name crossed off at each election. If you want to add a box that says "Jon Snow, True King of the North" and tick that, it's totally up to you.
I would have to agree, all (net) tax payers, at least, should have a say.

You are correct, they are. Lately, some referendum efforts have been initiated to change that fact, actually. No success that I am aware of so far.
its a tough sell
