Voting figures have seen a sharp decline over the past thirteen years with turnout at the last election the third lowest since the turn of the twentieth century. Turnout at the 2005 election was only 61.4% with just over 17 million of those registered to vote choosing not to.
In contrast, increasing numbers of people are voting for reality television shows with 10.8 million votes cast for the last X-Factor and 22.5 million votes for Big Brother 2005.
Led by Captain Sensible, the Blah! Party is set to become the biggest political party in the UK, with a membership target of over 300,000, to force the politicians to listen to the people that they represent. |
