Oddbean new post about login | logout Good summary but lots of people are so fed up of politics you should have mentioned only 60% of the eligible population voted. So from a total perspective only 20% voted for them.
Agreed. Those registered to vote, but didn't, plus those not even registered to vote are larger than the Tory and Labour vote put together. The Uni Party / Oligarch worst nightmare is seeing these people becoming engaged and voting for a party away from Red and Blue. Hence, I've a sneaking feeling that behind the scenes they promote "It's cool to check out of the syatem" to ensure they don't realise their voting power.
