- Someone1234 12y ago> Then why not register your disdain by voting blank? Because then someone somewhere will use the turnout % as a way to legitimise whoever is in charge e.g. "X got voted in with a 80% turnout." Whereas if only 10% of the population turn up, no matter who wins they have no legitimacy or mandate.
- dagw 12y agoIf you get a 80 % turn out and only 10% cast a vote for a candidate then I think that would send a much stronger message. It clearly differentiates between the case of just too lazy to bother and of genuine disdain for the current options.
