An interesting discussion on today's show on whether voting in this country should be mandatory. Eugene called to say 30 years ago she was 'requested' to attend the polling station in Australia where she was living by two strapping men that she didn't feel she could say no to! However it made her think about politics. Lots of you felt that there should be a box you could tick which meant you were abstaining - but my feeling is at least you have taken the time out to vote. I feel very strongly that women fought so hard for my right to vote that the least I can do is get off my bum and go and put a cross in one of the boxes!
