That brings us to the question of Farage's claim that Reform UK has a "mandate". Yet, it is obvious that theirs is a "protest vote". The only mandate they have to is to do well and succeed in 4 years' time.
However, below 50% turnout plays into the hands of Remainers, for example, who claimed that the majority of the electorate had not voted for Brexit.
Hence mandatory voting. Simples.
