Smile The "U's" Have It (Don't They)

Odd observations and some questions.

Why does the Labour Party call itself the Labor Party without the "u"?

Even my spell checker writing this post says it is with the "u", and I thought in Australia we use the British version of the spelling.

If the word "colour" is correct instead of the Americanised "color", then why not "Labour" instead of their usage of "Labor"?

Is it all an American plot, or does Johnny and Kev think they're running for the Aussie Pres?

Secondly. If we live in a so-called free democracy, and we are supposed yo have free will to choose what we want to do, then why is it compulsory for every Aussie to vote on polling day?

Thirdly, if you want to post a postal vote, why are you expected to add and pay for a postage stamp when you register to get a ballot paper? Yet when you get the ballot paper and send it back it is postage paid?
