Fines based on net worth/income.

As for turnout, Australia's mandatory voting system easily overshadowed the UK turnout:

2025 Australia federal election: 90.7% 2024 UK general election: 59.9%

The Au fine for not voting is only 20AUD, but I feel that they vote on Saturdays and employers have to give paid leave for voting helps the most.

Agree, without scrapping FPTP nothing changes.

Other changes that should be in this bill:

Elections held on a weekend, all shops closed. Mandatory voting. Massive fines for not voting. Scrapping of voter ID requirements.
