    Voting registration isn’t anti-democratic if it’s very easy, like it is here in Australia. It’s done online (and other methods) and very painless. If you don’t move, you never need to update your registration.

      And in actual democracies you’re registered automatically when turning voting age (usually 18) and gets updates automatically when moving. Obviously, when you have a monarch, you’re not living in a true democracy.

        Come to think of it, we have a system where we update our details and it updates it across all other government agencies (this is optional), but I don’t think it automatically updates your voting registration.

        Room for improvement.

        Oh and yeah, fuck the queen.

        Edit: yes, the queen specifically for presiding over the sacking of Whitlam
