Compulsory voting works fine in countries that have it but I don't think you could get away with introducing compulsory voting now in a country with so little civic spirit as the UK.
The more people decide they will fail to vote as some sort of vague 'fuck you' to the politicians, the more party-centred the politicians become because only party loyalists bother to vote.
