Unlike most of the western world, voting is mandatory in many democracies. Countries like Australia, and several countries in South America, Africa and Asia have a compulsory voting system, where citizens will be fined if they don't participate in elections.

In this episode, we discuss whether compulsory voting is a good policy for more democracies to adopt, or if it unnecessarily infringes on the rights and freedoms of the citizens of these countries.

In this episode, we have a full on universal basic income debate where we discuss whether UBI is a good policy to implement or not.

Universal Basic Income is a social welfare proposal in which all citizens of a given population regularly receive a guaranteed income in the form of an unconditional payment. The most famous proposal of this policy was by presidential nominee Andrew Yang in the 2020 democratic primary elections.
