If people choose not to vote, then they choose to opt out of the system, and they should get who they're lumbered with.

A democracy is only a democracy for those who vote, for everyone else, it's an unstable dictatorship.

so, if the turnout was 11%, you would say, thats fine, and let the person who gets asay %6 of the vote be the representative?

surely, when turnout goes below say 50%, you need to review the system and find out why people arent voting?
