You think the cap on donations is irrelevant? Really? You think voter apathy and participation is in no way tied to the perception that politics has been bought and paid for by the wealthy? I’d say that’s by far the most important one.
If it’s so simple and so negligible then why not just make it automatic. Those 5 minutes seem like a waste of time don’t they? How much time and money is wasted on those alleged 5 minutes? Why not streamline it?
Reading these recommendations again and I’m struggling to see the benefits when it comes to voter turnout.
If you add 16 year-olds to the franchise, the majority of them are not going to vote. So that will depress the turnout figures.
If we introduced automatic voter registration, the people who never vote will continue to never vote. So that will depress the turnout figures.
The cap on donations is completely irrelevant to this topic, so I don’t know why it is even in there, likewise with the “election day service” idea.

Its removing hurdles & simplifying the voting process.
People entering higher education should have a chance to shape the country.
People don’t have to worry if they’re registered to vote when all eligible votes are automatically registered.
The cap on donations ensures parties all have the same level playing field.
It literally takes 5 minutes to register to vote. If the people who aren’t registered were serious about voting, they would get it sorted.
Clearly they can’t be arsed.
