Graphs At A Glance: Elections in the UK are decided by people who don't vote.
A survey by the market
research organisation Survation looked into why people don't vote:
In answer to another question
in the same survey: "If a UK general election was held tomorrow, would you be likely to vote
or not?", the survey showed 56% of people who didn't vote in 2010 said
they would vote if an election was held tomorrow. A severe case of non-voters remorse.
The main reason for not
voting is people "don't believe my vote will make any difference".
Actually their missing votes make a huge difference. Elections are
decided by people who don't vote. Election figures show that no party since 2001 won more than a quarter of the electorate's votes.
Ironically, despite being the voters who decide elections, people who don't vote are never the
winners.
