Weakness.
Your argument is that I'm not being scientific in my voting preference therefore I shouldn't demand the same of my government?
Well, where to begin, I posted support for Turner prior to the end round polls showing he had no chance. Infact, I stopped endorsing anyone when it became clear that the CPC would win 5 days left in the election.
Second, the probability that my vote or the influence that I had on others' votes affecting the final outcome of the election is so small that it's actually scientific to stay home. THere's a higher likelihood that'd I'd be hit by a bus on the way to the polling station that my vote actually making a decision.
Which is why I didn't vote, the scientific, evidence based decision to make.
