Hello Rob...

 RM> 66% where I am..  But, that said, 60% is rather high turnout
 RM> for most countries. Many have a hard time pulling in 40%.

 66% in your area?  really!  I don't even know what it was like
where I live.  I am still not even sure who got elected, as since
day one when I moved here to now...the place is the same...run
not by the politicians but the un-elected chairs of this and
that in federal, provinicial,regional,municipal offices and their
staffs that tell the politicians if they can do this and that.

If they only pull in 40% then they are brave, and have found
a polling station where they don't get shot or axed by
some oppossition party.

 RM> Just as well.. the people who don't know or don't care
 RM> aren't in there flipping a coin and messing things up...  B)

 yeah

 RM> In Australia you are fined if you don't vote...
 RM> Sounds like an invitation to Purposely screw things up...

 They do have a point.  Maybe they should do this here, and as
well takeaway the "right to vote".  I'd go for that.  Yep... 
a few months in jail to ponder why I didn't and then not having
to worry about voting as they remove the right to vote.

Aah Australia!  Now there is a place where this has done, and
they have a Consitutional Nightmare in a box..if and when it
every arises!   And I do not address the right to vote issue.

I wonder now how long Mr. Martin's government will last?
mmm but theres another line of discussion.

ttfn
