Vote or DIE is not a bad concept..But I agree that voting, if you are politically ignorant defeats the purpose. However, educating people and making them less ignorant is a great idea..People should WANT to be involved.
Interestingly, if the percentage of the ignorant voting public is accepted as true, then the concept that 3% is actual specifically mandated political clout is incorrect as that mandate was undoubtably due to luck of the draw rather than consciously selected voting for an issue.
