I voted UKIP and we not only got a referendum but also a vote to leave. I do agree that under a more representative system UKIP would have had much more direct influence over how. I seriously agree with people who dont vote dont really have much right to complain, if they cannot be bothered being heard then why should anyone listen.

"This might sound a bit like the US Presidential system where people voted Trump as "The lesser evil.""

I do dislike the idea of voting against Hillary but I can see a good reason voting for Trump (and once my favoured candidate dropped out I thought Trump would be a good idea) because he isnt either of the parties. To me Trump and Sanders were the same extreme and bluster but at the opposite extremes. I wanted Trump to win, not because I thought he would be any good, but because it will hopefully force US politicians and parties to improve.
