> And most surprisingly, I don't think that it is surprising at all. I wouldn't call it friendship, but if a group of people who share a common political goal that opposes others, thinks that their group is a majority who will win a vote by a big margin, then those people are less likely to vote. See Brexit. Or maybe even the 2016 US election, where most people seemed assured that Clinton would win, and perhaps because of that didn't vote (also because they didn't get Bernie as a candidate.)
