The decline in voter turnout at elections is chiefly explained by the decline in voting by younger people who have very different lifestyles. Older people are much more likely to vote. If this trend continues, probably this will lead to a point at which no government can be said to have a mandate to govern as the number of voters will be too small to indicate the wishes of the majority. Society needs, therefore, to find an alternative to conventional elections so that the wishes of the people can be heard. Select the option that best expresses the flaw in the above argument.
