France and the Netherlands are likely going to be the next countries to go through this same "stick it to the man" wave. I fully expect Marine Le Pen and Geert Wilders to win their respective elections now that they're energized by what has happened in the Anglosphere.
The next link in the chain was supposed to be Austria with them electing there first Right wing leader since the Second World war and a certain Moustached fellow. That didn't work out so well in the re-run of the election.
This has shown that they can be beaten if challenged correctly as the Austrians did by asking what sort of society people wanted and they rejected the myopic, simplistic views put forward by the populist right.

And we should not make this a debate on mandatory voting. The US has no mandatory voting policy, and even if such a thing were ruled not-unconstitutional (it wouldn't), it is not going to implemented in the near future.
Just out of Curiousity why would mandatory voting get ruled unconstitutional? Has it been tested before or has no one tried implementing it?
