Zevico,
Nope. If a member gets a single vote more, they are elected- Nationally Thather in her last term got about 47% of those that voted, I think my Party got about 43% at the last election, but won.
In Denmark it is illegial to not vote- you get paid for a day away, can rip the paper up legially, but you must vote. (You are fined if you refuse to even rip up the paper)
Democracy in Europe arrived at a high price, the Kiwi's actually did something in voting after the Idiot war (WWI), Ironic the Russians saved the day with 26 million dead, to allow us lot in Europe finally have a voice after WWII-even the USA was forced into it once both Hitler and Japan had declared war on them.
Democracy isn't a special right, It should be like buying a loaf of bread from a bakers- expected, as he expects your money.
After the first war Britain got a sort of democracy, by the end of the Second, Britain had fought a 6 year war, was bankrupt to the US and exhausted.
All political parties knew they must offer the 4 million returning serviceman something extra, other than replacing 2 million bombed homes- they did.
We got the National Health Service,: After surviving a six year war you now knew that you wouldn't die at home because you lacked a penny to pay the doctors' fee- that's democracy.
