    I bet most of the people who didn’t vote didn’t even know the platforms of the parties beyond a few generic sound bites.

    Anyway, voting is a civic duty; it doesn’t matter if none of the parties’ platforms excite you, it’s your job as a citizen to vote for the good of your country. Most adults go to the dentist even if they don’t get a toy afterwards.

      Well, I too think voting is a civic duty.

      My point being that judging by the levels of voting abstention all over the World, many (probably most) people, don’t think that.
