105 is last reported turnout - very slightly up in absolute numbers the 46th Cosâ election, but I think down somewhat proportionately? Looking at the names, it is overwhelmingly so that the citizens who do not vote are the ones we don't see on Witt every often, who presumably are not very well aware of the political issues of the day and where the parties stand on these. If these citizens do not vote but reply to the census instead, I don't think that's bad for Talossa.

I would agree with that. But of course, for parties who rely on their voters having no clue about current issues in Talossa but will cast a vote when prodded for their old friends or for the Party of the Monarchy - HUZZAH FOR THE KING!!!, that might be a problem.

103 last I looked. So this is a (biased) sample of 37%. Biased because we can expect RUMP, and to a lesser extent ZRT, to benefit greatly from voters who wouldn't bother to participate in polls. Of course, respondents to this poll are self-selected and thus may be lying to make the pollster look stupid. And it might be wrong to call the PC a moderate party under JPG's leadership. So the RUMP need around 2/3rds of the remaining votes for a majority (plausible if not concretely probable; seems like a 50/50 to me). They can probably count on JP's PC seats backing them for a coalition.
