Plugging the parenting gap: The case for paid parental leave

by Ruth Kelly

Despite Labour's landslide in 1997, that election saw the lowest turnout at a general election since the war. Recent local and European elections have seen turnouts of below 30%, and some cases of below 10%. This pamphlet argues for compulsory voting, as an idea whose time has come. It uses the examples of other countries, to show that this is the best way of restoring the legitimacy of Britain's democratic institutions.
