I only have a Mayor to vote for, and I am not giving my tacit backing to the concept of such an additional wasteful layer of government by being included in the turnout statistics.

But it's a weak argument. Forcing people to vote (by statute like Australia, or simply by societal pressure) is a form of tyranny in itself.
