Last elections we had just a couple of months ago, was something like a 98% voter turn out.
The former Prime Minister's time was up, having served 10 years in office. He simply retired very gracefully.
I found that difficult to believe - but it must be true. It was on TV and in the press, on-line news and printed.
What's more there was no protest groups or weird protesters !

Strange isn't it ? It's voluntary voting as well.
