We don't have a democracy if we have a government with 40% of the votes cast and 28(?)% of available votes. We are on dangerous ground as the percentage of people voting drops lower. It is worst with younger voters. That IS dangerous. Personally I think (a)voting should be obligatory(b)the percentage of votes cast per party should be reflected in the makeup of parliament (c) all matters of importance be decided in parliament (d)freedom of information be made a reality (e)elections every 4 years, removing the right of government to manipulate it (f) all important committees be in public (g)no prime minister serve more than 2 terms (h) alsatair campbell should be shot
