There will be a rise in third parties. My feeling is that if everyone is forced to vote, then voices will be heard and parties will be created around them. What this means is that both the GOP and DNC will suffer from splintering, reducing each party's power further (making the GOP, even more of a minority party). While the third parties may not be as powerful as the DNC or even reduced GOP...they will be able to get votes and candidates elected at various levels to help shape policy. Something third parties don't really get to do now. BTW, I'm a Democrat and I would continue to stay as one (most likely), but I am not adverse to the people havong a larger selection of those who will listen to them.
This is the point that is appealing. A multi-party system would necessitate more cooperation between lawmakers. There is no in between with two parties......it is just either/or
I think it's more likely that existing parties will become a more broader church of opinion but yes I'd expect to see some smaller parties
I think the USA is basically a two party state right now and that is not exactly healthy, a political spectrum featuring multiple parties would be politically more healthy.
