well even that is hard to say and how a population thinks, the recent French elections, over 85% of the voting population turned out, and Nicolas Sarkozy still won both rounds
i remember back 4 years ago that who ever won the democratic ticket would win the election and kick the incumbent out, but what happens, the far right camp mobilized stronger then the left and they won, so much is on the population itself perpetuating it's own decline
