Off the top of my head, the general election last year was 67%. 1 in 3 voters didn't vote, 15m eligible voters happy not to bother.

Its not about didnt bother to vote.

For example, I had issues with my tire, so due to bad planning on my part and a minor car issue my remain vote was wasted, my g/f had to work late and got home to00000 late to vote, she was going to vote remain, her parents are currently on holiday, both were remain, my brother was due to come back from the Euros yesterday, but due to some strike he was delayed 24hours, another remain vote "wasted".

If his whole family is as fat as him they probably weigh as much as 1.3m people.

Area's with the strongest concerns about immigration and the largest UKIP vote are actually areas with Low Immigration

Still can't believe Kirkby (0.01% immigration) and Knowsley (<2%) voted Leave.

Unbelievably stupid. Everyone I know from by mine in Kirkby voted out based on immigration.

I think you should ask them all to register on GOT and tell us what their intention was

A bit like the "Nutty Professor" movie then?

That's where the postal vote comes in. If you're gonna be on your jollies - postal vote. If there's a possibility you will not be able to make the polling station due to work - postal vote. If you're going to the Euros - postal vote. It's just not planning ahead - like those who crashed the website trying to register to vote 90 minutes before the deadline. Granted, this won't apply to everyone and things happen in everyone's lives that will prevent them from getting out to vote - but that doesn't equate to 28% of the electorate.

No Friend, they are mostly all kopite vermin.

No Friend, they are mostly all kopite vermin.

Oh they would have probably voted Leave then, like Osman and Snivelley

 

[ToffeeDoug]

I don't understand your point.

It was in response to some one saying 72% was a poor show. Yesterday, a lot more people made the effort to vote than at the last election.

Well to use my example, my g/f parents knew when the vote was, so if they cared could have planned their holiday better, I could have gone the polling station BEFORE I went and goosed my car, the missus could have told work to jog on cos she wanted to go vote, the only person who lost their vote blameless was my bro.
