http://www.statisticbrain.com/voting-statistics/ I think this means that only 58% of 18 to 24 year olds eligible to vote registered to do so. Disgrace
Yeah I agree. I'm not content to sit back and think 'ah well' when someone like Trump somehow manages to get elected. It's abhorrent. I think I've a duty to my kids to educate them into understanding that treating people in the way Trump does simply isn't acceptable. As it seems millions of people don't really give a $#@! what he says or does or how he treats other people. It's sad.
He will build a wall, and rightly so. The EU and Israel can offer advice on how to build one.
Only time will tell - but I do agree with other posters, the internet loves a meltdown.
55.6% turned up to vote.
18-24 58.5%
25-34 66.4%
35-44 69.9%
45-54 73.5%
55-64 76.6%
65-74 78.1%
Over 75 76.6%
So 55.6% turned up to vote, but in each age set more than 55.6% voted?

isn't that percentage referring to voting registrations not actual votes?
not sure why it's a disgrace not to vote anyway. choice isn't it?

Correct Langer's but millions of people also don't give a shit about others and have never had need to. People like u are in the majority in the UK IMHO as we are far more diverse and aware. It is very clear that there are different values in lklkarge numbers across the pond
Can't see how this is true or we'd never have a Conservative government. People on the Liberal left (including myself in this) tend to talk a good game, like to try and persuade other with their brilliant arguments and will generally blather on till the cows come home, and thus seem like they're more numerous than they really are. The rest of the populace either doesn't engage at all or votes according to what they think is in their self-interest, which tends not to be left-wards.
Do you not think that the majority of people give a shit about others, but different people do to different levels?
It is, but people who can't be bothered to vote cannot really complain about the result.
Agreed totally but I believe you then can't bleat about the outcome. If 45% of Americans didn't vote then my sympathies are minimal as they get what they deserve. I understand brexit dissenters far more as there was a significant difference in turnout

of course they can. if you go out for a meal and the menu choice you're provided is dog shit or cow shit, i'd expect you to complain.
the response, "you can't complain because you didn't try either" would be a disgrace.
Difficult to argue with that.If others choose not to vote, then that is their prerogative, but having not bothered to vote, they can have no complaints about the outcome.
I cannot really see the comparison between a meal, where you pay for your food, and a free vote. Personally, I vote at every election, whether local or national. If others choose not to vote, then that is their prerogative, but having not bothered to vote, they can have no complaints about the outcome. In every election, it is the stay aways who ultimately decide on the outcome.
