# Voluntary voting != Representative Democracy
I basically have no fucking clue who Ricki-Lee is, except that she was voted off Australian Idol last night. And that apparantly this is a bad thing. It has penetrated by protective shield of uncoolness that there was a flood of teeth-gnashing and breast-beating on talkback radio and elsewhere today. People moaning that fans of Ricki-Lee may not have voted for her, thinking that she would be safe.
I have a question. How many of the people asking that question were moaning on Saturday over being ‘forced to vote’?
