Make voting compulsory - with a £10 fine for those that don't cast ballot, says lefty think-tank

The Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) has proposed making voting compulsory in national elections for Brits, with a £10 fine for those who don't participate. This move aims to boost voter turnout and ensure a more representative democracy. The suggestion comes as low voter participation has been a concern, with many arguing that compulsory voting could lead to a more engaged and informed electorate. This debate highlights the ongoing efforts to address democratic participation and civic responsibility.
