Why is there a 'le' in 'que tu le veuilles' instead of just 'que tu veuilles'

Why is there a 'le' between 'tu' and veuilles in this sentence 'C'est comme ça, que tu le veuilles ou pas' instead of just que tu veuilles.

The English translation should be “ You'll come, whether you want to or not!” IMHO, rather than the literal translation of le as it.
