Nah, maybe a fair number that could apply to but not the Millions of the third of voters who don't vote.
I don't believe all those millions are that thick, that they don't understand, going to a polling station, get a slip of paper, put a cross beside the Party you like/ want.
Then put it straight into a big black box there waiting.
I've talked to, (I've lost count of how many), who don't vote.
The vast majority don't vote because they think their votes are wasted and make no difference.
I obviously get you prefer first past the post.
However I don't, I feel sad so many people eligible to vote don't because the system has them feeling the votes are wasted so they're wasting their time doing so.
