Mandatory voting creates more room for independent and minor parties to collect your vote, instead of just abstaining in the booth. The preference system tends to avoid outcomes that don’t reflect the electorate.

In Australia, far left and far right politicians and candidates can and do bloviate all they want, but ultimately mandatory voting pulls politics back to the centre.

Someone climbed through the window to access a restricted area being defended by armed government agents in capital Hill, during a siege. Another tried to drive away from armed government agents on the street. It’s unbelievable that the former is a hero to conservatives and the latter is a terrorist.
