In a way we are arguing to the same end. I suggested in the podcast that those who vote provide legitimacy to the government, and thus bear some responsibility for the governments actions.
Its just a thought I often ponder and knew it would be contravertial.
I also ask what would happen if no one voted in an election? What signal would that send? Would a government (elected by , say, 5% of the population) be legitimate?
