UK: People 'feel less of a duty to vote at elections', BBC News (2010)
According to a government-backed survey, the number of people who feel compelled to vote in general elections is declining; just as the voter turnout at general elections. 56% of respondents said it was 'everyone's duty to vote'. While still more than a majority, the number has dropped from 68% in 2001. At the same time, 32% of people said they had 'not much' or 'no interest' in politics at all.
