Not in the UK, indeed the largest voter turnout of any election/referendum in the UK was...the EU referendum. Making it the largest vote for a decision in the entire history of the UK.
So best described currently as `interesting times`.
- ranko 8y agoI keep hearing this claim, but I don't think it's true. "The highest turnout recorded at a UK general election over the last 100 years was in 1950, 83.9%.", according to https://researchbriefings.parliament.uk/ResearchBriefing/Summary/CBP-8060%23fullreport https://researchbriefings.parliament.uk/ResearchBriefing/Sum...
- chrisseaton 8y agoAre you arguing relatively while others argue absolutely?
- ranko 8y agoTurnout is normally given as a percentage, I think. Either way, the 1992 general election had a turnout of 77.7% or 33,614,074, both of were larger than the EU referendum.
