    Its called apathy.

    Make everyones vote count (mandatory voting) and all of a sudden it matters

      Brasil has compulsory voting and they had Bolsonaro (and apathy). I dont think thats a solution for this specific problem.

        Yeah making all the people who have no clue about politics or politicians vote for basically whoever has the most advertising or the most well-known name certainly is not a good system. It’s already pretty bad now, we don’t need to make it worse with even more uneducated people voting.
