Also in 2016, fifty Labour MPs and counsellors were suspended for anti-semitism. To date, no one has been sacked from the party. The highest-profile figure was former London Mayor Ken Livingstone.

I guess the logic behind the law is it's ever body's duty to vote and you can't have a fair democratic society if every body doesn't participate. I kind of like the idea but I also don't like being told what I have to do. Cheers!
