but when we have the recent ballots we now have the tories suggesting that a less than 50% turnout should make the vote invalid...in spite of the fact that most local councils etc should be disbanded !  This assumes that the people who didn't vote didn't approve, when if they didn't approve they should have voted against.
as for being afraid to cast a vote against...what century are you talking?  all the voting I take part in involves reams of paper to my home...and I usually vote against strike action...mainly because we took a day off work in support of the nurses in February.  Absolute waste of time and monmey considering we are gardeners, and there is no difference between striking and a downpour of rain.
