Some people who oppose greater formal organization may consider participating in the poll to be implicitly endorsing such organization.&nbsp; Therefore, all people who don&#39;t respond should be considered to be &quot;no&quot; votes.<br>

Those people who do register and &quot;go through the trouble&quot; of voting, by doing so, indicate they have enough commitment that they care to the outcome. It&#39;s somewhat comparable to a electoral process; Those who don&#39;t bother to vote, have no right to complain about the outcome of the voting.<br>
