Our politicians and media here in Ireland don't focus enough on the sick state of our Democracy; if 40.3% of registered Irish adults (and even more including those who are eligible but not registered) are not voting, this should be the main story of the election - that is double the percentage of people who voted for the largest party in the last election.

One of the big takeaways from the German election is just how much more engaged German voters are than Irish voters.
Yesterday, Germany reached a turnout of 83.5% of registered voters. In our General Election last November, we had just 59.7% of registered voters come out to vote.
