Yes, people should vote, but if they don't care then maybe don't vote. I don't
want to think about the consequences when voting in the Netherlands becomes
mandatory. We have some political parties that make me sick to my stomach and
I'm afraid those parties will get most of the 'forced' votes...With people not
knowing what they voted for...
