how many of that rabble do you think actually voted?

I wouldn't presume to know or guess, and is largely irrelevant. You might assume it's a low number but you can't possibly be doing anything but guessing.

yes I agree a very low number. they would rather attack the police than actually do something democratic.

You don't agree. I said YOU might assume it's a low number. I would actually guess it's a relatively high number. Higher than the pathetic national average, anyway. The people who didn't bother to vote aren't out rioting, they're at home watching a Jeremy Kyle from 2005 on ITV2+1 HD 1080i.

lol you may be right. My local area had 72 % and its rural and there are little if any of that type of person so I am left scratching my head as to why they did not vote
