There are as many ways to work your no-vote to your advantage (or your vote – same thing) as human ingenuity can come up with.

It could also be a way of trying to curry favour from both political parties. If they don’t know how you will vote, both parties have an incentive to woo you and promise you things.

Another reason not to declare your voting intentions is to be able to declare the way you voted at a future point in time to suit your purposes and/or the government of the day. For example, come elections, you could say you voted for someone’s rivals to give them an incentive to offer you help or whatever.

I know people who don’t vote so that as soon as the election is over they can flaunt their voter id and offer their vote to the party in government in return for favours.

Presumably you meant 3 decades or 30 years, right?

It’s the same with this website. How do they imagine that I have stayed totally relevant as a communicator for 30 decades if not because I know my audience and how to reach it?

Your audience can never be ‘everyone’. It’s always going to be X kind of people and Y kind of people or Z kind of people. When you’re on the internet, you reach everyone, because you’re there at the touch of a key. But it doesn’t mean that everyone is going to like you, love you or approve of you.

Those who don’t are not your audience, full stop. And if you start trying to be all things to all men, you lose your audience.
