The best thing about Compulsory Voting was that a Right-Wing politician was scared he would loose the election if The Workers voted and his advisors told him that the majority of his supporters didn’t vote.
He reasoned that if it was compulsory, The Silent Majority would come out and vote for him in a landslide.
It was a landslide; it turns out that his advisors overestimated how many supporters he had and he was voted out.
Also see last election, the Right-Wing media echo chamber and the coalition.
