This is simplistic. Some have simply lost confidence in their representatives and/or cannot find a decent candidate.
- account42 2y agoWould be interesting if voter turnout somehow had an effect on the government. For example if the required consensus for new laws would be scaled by the turnout - e.g. for if there is only 51% turnout then any laws that need a majority consensus would need almost all politicians to agree. Could provide interesting incentives for politicians to care about voter engagement and political education.
