Let's take Alexander's logic on voting, as espoused by him on this and other threads on this forum and in his blogs, to its logical end re the most recent KCC elections:-
Labour Candidates polled 6.2% and 5.7% of those eligible to vote in Dover Town ward and won both seats - total 11.9% of those eligible to vote
UKIP candidate polled 4.9% of those eligible to vote in Dover Town ward
Conservative Candidates polled 4.3% and 4.3% of those eligible to vote in Dover Town ward - total 8.6% of those eligible to vote
Liberal Democrat Candidates polled 0.8% and 0.8% of those eligible to vote in Dover Town ward - total 1.6% of those eligible to vote
and approx. 0.1% of papers were spoiled.
That means, in relation to UKIP, that 95.1% of the voters of Dover Town rejected UKIP according to 'Alexander logic'. 88.1% of voters rejected Labour and 91.4% rejected the Conservatives.
It also means that the DPPT has more democratic legitimacy than the lot of them put together (if we follow the Alex logic line).
Of course, we'll never know what those who didn't vote wanted, because they made themselves uncountable and left 11.9% of the Town's electorate to grant democratic legitimacy to its regional council representatives in Maidstone.
However, in the real world, the record will forever show that our two Labour councillors collected 44% of Dover's vote between them and those who didn't vote will remain forever uncounted in support of or opposition to any candidate whatsoever (in fact, they are likely to be claimed (with some legitimacy) by the winners because they'll be as if they were among the 44% as far as the electoral history is concerned.
