That's a wonderful account. I think the low turnout is partly due to people feeling that it was not going to be close. Although I am also sure very many are totally disengaged. And without wanting to deflate your ego, I think these days, almost everyone is voting against something rather than for something. Which explains why in the UK 34% gives you a huge majority, while in France it only gets you 25% of the seats. (Not that I am complaining about either result.)

Still 17.5% is an impressive result!

You really are gentle I couldn't stand to be in same room as Labour, it is funny the experience of being cheered by a crowd I recently was supprized by it at a first timers strongman competition, I can see why the Spanish Anarchists didn't applauded speakers as our egos are quick to inflate 🤣 interesting observations thank you
