An other viewpoint on non-voting people could be that non-voters are not satisfied with the democratic system and would therefore prefer a dictatorship, a monarchy, feudalism, anarchism, or whatever else which isn't democratic. Assuimg that, it could mean that a voting participation of less than 50% of all possible voters means that the democracy should be replaced with, for example, an monarchy (with a suitable king, which shouldn't be too hard to find (even though Elvis now lives on a foreign planet (some even say that he might be really dead!))). ;-) Best regards, Klaus
