Agreed, except that I think everyone over the age of 18 must vote, not just those aged 18-65. There's always the option of proxy or postal voting if a voter cannot make it to a polling station.

and here is where the second one comes in, you will have the option to a vote of no convinced in the three main party's. That way you can stick it to the big three by saying I've had it up to here with your lies.
Disagree. If you don't like any of the established parties you are completely free to stand as an independant or form a party of your choosing. The current equivalent of spoiling your ballot is, in my opinion, a dereliction of duty for a voter.

I would NOT like to see PR introduced for the simple reason that I'd rather have a strong government (even if I didn't agree with them) than a weak coalition which couldn't actually do anything.
