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.

Indeed my usual practice is to turn up and "spoil" my vote in the event of there being no acceptable candidates. But some other people spoil their votes by accident. If spoiling my vote I write "none of these are acceptable", but in the counting of votes this is not distinguished from spoilt votes by the incompetent. Hence the need for a special box.
