From what I've seen and heard in the UK you have more people not or refusing to vote that your leaders are being chosen by an ever shrinking tribal minority that'll vote for their party no matter what.
If all those people voted for a small party or individual then there would be a sea change. Hell if all those people just spoiled their ballots that would be an impact as that's all counted and it'll be hard to say you have a mandate when nearly 70% of the country spoiled their ballots refusing to recognise you.
