to be fair, the mainstream parties have largely ignored those who have history of not voting. #McSweeney's doctrine that 'the left have nowhere to go' was always false. When no party offered anything to the left, the left stayed home. When the #Greens started to offer *something* to the left, they recruited votes not only from former #UKLabour voters but also from former non-voters. My hunch is that a party with a more radical genuinely left agenda would recruit more.
