I'm not surprised that many people don't bother voting in a general election. Perhaps it is time to change the Victorian election system?

Agree - The current system whilst giving everyone a specific representative also results in unbalanced party majority government without a majority of the electorate. Both Tory & Labour have been the beneficiaries of this system. Worst thing is they then claim to have a mandate to ride roughshod over the majority of the population who didn't vote for them.
