  Perhaps it would be more use to focus on people who actually, really cannot get to the polling stations and are discriminated against. No, not prisoners, the severely disabled. Postal voting is, as anyone with sense knows, open to fraud, and it needs to be improved for people with disabilities before we start saying everyone can get it. Everyone should be able to vote, but there are a significant number of people who need support to vote, people with learning disabilities and physical challenges, people with mental health issues - all are entitled to vote but are often missed out. Perhaps we should start there if we want a properly level playing field.
  
  I quietly agree with Vic up to a point: not about jailing people for failing to vote (for goodness sake!) but about it being a civic duty that should be more robustly encouraged, shall we say........
