Low voter turn out hurts the Liberals

Accidental Deliberations: On absent Liberals

A lot less people turned out to vote this time than in 2006. Most of those who didn't turn out were Liberal voters. I guess they were just taking after the example set by Liberal MPs who sat out of many votes in Parliament over the last few years.

In 2006, 64.7% of eligible voters voted. A total of 14,908,703 voted.
In 2008, 59.1% of eligible voters voted. A total of 13,832,972 voted.
