Agreed

If we dont encourage more people especially more young people to vote we will tend to get policy that protects the wealth of older people, older people generally have wealth and property and they fear it's loss so they vote to protect it and Governments oblige in return.

Look at France with underemployed graduates kept out by labour laws to protect older workers, look at America with BabyBoomer entitlements that are to be paid by the smaller young demographic yet the BabyBoomers Culture War in America prevents sensible immigration law to boost it's young population.

I dont care if you spoil your vote just go and do it.
