I thank the witnesses for their participation and wisdom. For millennia, minority groups, young people and not least women have been prohibited from electoral participation. While in living memory everyone has been able to participate there is a legacy of non-participation. I completely support gender quotas and full society participation in our political system. My question is short and may come out of left field. What are the witnesses' positions on compulsory voting systems, such as the one in place in Australia? I feel that would make people participate. Do the witnesses have an opinion or position on that?
