Years ago, a British, Murdoch-owned, pay-TV company called Sky was piloting this on trains. The showreel for it literally showed weary commuters trying to rest their heads against the window being blasted with audio adverts through acoustic bone coupling. One of the most tone-deaf (pun intended) things I've ever seen.
Possibly - though they do all look alike! IIRC, this one is on Via dei Cappellari, just south of the junction with Via Pellegrino. I was walking away from Campo de Flori when I took this.
This picture is very misleading. It's even more impressive in person. Also, the countryside around it is beautiful.
Did you ever play those old Halo games and just spend time on the edge of a cliff at the end of the playable area looking out at the luscious landscape of the sky box spread before you? That's what Ronda's like.
I agree with your point about education and communication, but I'd counter that plenty of informed/educated voters assuming an foregone result has caused some unpopular outcomes in the part; a voter who would be otherwise be disenfranchised enough to not bother might as well vote for what they want if they're going to be voting anyway. Having thought about this a bit in the past I'd like to see all of these changes made to the process:
As mentioned, mandatory voting with a fine for nonattendance calculated as a proportion of income.
Postal voting by default. Your polling cars is also postal voting card and can be returned up to four weeks before election day.
In addition to the right to leave the polling card blank or spoil it, specific options for formal protest options along the lines of "No vote due to inadequate candidates" and "No vote due to lack of faith in the electorate system."
Constituencies three or four times bigger than they are at the moment, since people are more travelled and communities are more spread than they were in the past, leading onto:
Single Transferrable Votes with the number of representatives returned calculated based on the population of the constituency; currently the biggest and smallest have populations of 113,000 and 21,000, but both have equal representation.
So I'm late to the party here, but this is a very early version of a diagram I'm putting together that corrects a couple of issues with the diagram OP posted.

As I said: very early and also very incomplete, but what's there is accurate.
They are both superb, but I prefer The Day Today. It was way, way more dense and lambasted a much wider spectrum of the media. That said, I think the Brasseye Special was better than both.
