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.
the meal reference is an analogy, to illustrate a point. that point being, if someone is unhappy with both choices put to them, then they're entitled to complain about the choice that ends up being selected regardless of the process. talking about "payment for the meal" is completely missing that point. whether you're doing that deliberately or unintentionally is anyone's guess.
