ISTR writing something _very_ similar a few years ago...I think it was after the last federal election, and may have been on the LJ Melbourne Maniacs group. I think it was in response to someone whinging about having to vote, and that they / their partner might get fined for choosing not to vote. It's rather spooky to see what you've said, right down to the order of your points. :)
Democracy -- and our flavour of it, with out voting system -- may have its imperfections, but it's about the least bad political system in history, anywhere in the world. Wish I could say the same for some of the candidates. ;)
