Data from – The Electoral Commission
….
ok, so 42% turnout on ‘how to implement a voting reform in the UK’
42… aside from the amusing Adams parallel….
At best, of those voting – 32% of UK citz are progressive or wish to see some sort of change.
At worst, those failing to vote, effectively voted for the status quo; so one could read it that of the people of the UK, approximately 13.5% are progressive, wish to see some sort of change or cannot find a solution in bulk voting for single parties offering flag-waving ‘solutions’ to complex social issues and modern governance.
13.5% - I should get a back patch made up with that…. and some H.L. Mencken, Heinlein and Garrett Hardin slogans.
