I don't vote, I don't pay community tax

[venta]

If we assume that:

(a) most people don't bother voting in elections[*]
(b) people are more likely to complain when they don't like something than offer praise when they do

does it follow that parties like UKIP will always do well in elections for MEPs ?

[*] Turn-out figures show that about 1 in 3 people voted in the European elections last week.

I think their stance is that the European framework should be as small as possible*, and campaign to that end. In that way, they're a little like the Tories, who would prefer "small government" wherever possible. They want government to be small, but they still want to be in it.

*Obviously, they'd rather it just didn't exist, or that we weren't in it
