    Whether mandatory voting is bad or not, certainly it’s way better than the American situation, where one particular party’s strategy to win elections is to discourage and actively prevent people from voting. In Australia, every political party seeks to win by collecting votes.

      Yeah I hate the fact that one party’s strategy is actively invalidating votes for one of the candidates.
