    I’m not convinced by that whole theory that “if everyone voted, the elections would turn out different!”.

    There’s a strong correlation between election turnout and results trending conservative or progressive. It’s not the numbers but the percentage of turnout – and when turnout percentage is higher, the results skew progressive.
