They're not voting because...

... it doesn't actually matter who we vote for. Radical parties simply wouldn't be allowed to impose their policies, so a Naz re-run wouldn't occur. Any government will have to cooperate to a certain extent with the EU and the US because else we won't have any trade. Similarly we'll always be taxed, we'll always pay lots for petrol as oil supplies slowly dwindle, and crime will always be an issue.
Any opposition parties would do the same as Labour did over Iraq if put in the same place as Blair. I don't support it, but it was always going to happen. Turn your back on the most economically powerful country in the world? No politician in their right mind would do that.
