Majority rules

Does Tony Ash really believe a 70% election turnout is abysmal? Where does he live? North Korea?

The turnout in UK general elections has been below 70% for a decade and a half and has not been above 80% for more than 50 years.

To put this into perspective, the UK turnout in European elections has consistently been under 40%.

To say that a ballot result is invalid because an unseen majority didn’t bother to vote is just plain daft. KORAT CHRIS
