Rejected petition Voting in the UK should be compulsory, with fines for people who don't vote

A large number of Britons didn't vote on the referendum. If it was compulsory to vote there could have been a different outcome. It should be compulsory to vote with a fine if you don't. This is a system used in Australia and it works. Please sign in favour
