    Reforms that are needed:

    1. Compulsory voting for all citizens
    2. Ranked choice voting system
    3. Age limits for politicians

    I’m sure there are more, but this is just off the top of my head.

      Plenty of countries have laws that fine or otherwise punish people that do not vote, afaik this doesn’t tend to lead to better functioning democracies. I think this is a thing where the carrot works better than the stick.

        Automatic voter registration based on citizenship. Boom, solves a big percentage of the problem.

        You’d be shocked how much a bit of minor paperwork stops a large percentage of people from doing the bare minimum.
