Unit 1 & 2: Democratic deficit & electoral turnout.
More recent data from the Electoral Reform Society (a pressure group in themselves) showing a disturbing trend in terms of voting turnout. Click here for the article.
Obviously this is useful for any question on electoral systems, democratic deficit, representation, legitimacy etc.
Question to think about: Why do some areas of the UK (Hull for example), experience a lower turnout than others?
