Taking your comment reference electing governments, playing devil's advocate, .......
Of those that bothered to return their 'survey' at the last election, i.e vote, I believe approx 62% didn't vote for the party that is currently in power.....
In fact, thinking about it, I suppose I have just proved that your comments are correct!! It would appear that the majority opinion of those that return thier survey is ignored as much in the selection of government as in any internal RAF survey......!!!!!
