In our current system of voluntary voting, the winner of an
election is determined by the candidate's ability to create
controversy rather than by leadership skill. Campaigns therefore
focus on highly motivated voters. These also tend to be the most
partisan. This constant appeal to extremes on both sides of the
political spectrum abandons voters in the middle. In turn, these
moderates opt out on Election Day, since none of the candidates
seem to be speaking to their concerns. Compulsory voting would
offer candidates less incentive to inflame passions (Ornstein,
Galston). Without having to spend so much of their time trying to
appeal solely to the highly partisan voters most likely to show up
at the polls, they could instead spend more time crafting policy
proposals to meet the needs of all voters. Fewer highly partisan
lawmakers would mean more cooperation and less unnecessary
government gridlock.

(from "nothing gold can stay" by robert frost) at sestos hero dwelt; hero the fair, whom young apollo courted for her hair, and offered as a dower his burning throne, where she should sit for men to gaze upon. the outside of her garments were of lawn, the lining purple silk, with gilt stars drawn; (from "hero and leander" by christopher marlowe) quatrain couplet octave sestet
