Politics On The Canvas(s)
The first question that everybody was asking themselves after the general election result came through was why the turnout was so low. There has been plenty of discussion of the question since, culminating last week in the publication of the Electoral Commission's first report on the election, which among other sources draws on two MORI surveys for the Commission.
