My vote is secret, and I haven't once said to you that I am going to vote conservative in the elections have I?
I'm not even a member of conservative future, so what makes you think I even really care about politics beyond discussing it on this forum every now and again.
Because I was curious, I asked a socialist politics student at my uni whether he'd vote for a party that represented the majority or whether he'd vote for his own interests, and he toyed with both ideas and still said his own, though we both agreed that if we were in a position of governance we would both try and represent everyone.
Although the entire population does not vote, everyone still has interests. The majority of the population does not vote, I wouldn't say otherwise, but unless they all shared the same view, the majority interest could still be represented by a party, though I'm sure I don't need to give people a lesson on fractions and percentages
