Turnout for the 2010 general election was the third lowest since the introduction of universal suffrage, with one in three people abstaining from casting their vote.

With the 2015 election a little over two months away, 5 live's John Pienaar went along to the Houses of Parliament with three non-voters to meet Conservative MP Nadine Dorries.

19-year-old Rhiannon and 58-year-old Myk spoke of their "disenfranchisement" and "disempowerment".

Myk said "nobody listens" to the public once a party is elected to power.

28-year-old Carl said he does not vote because "half the time" he does not understand what each party stands for, a sentiment shared by Ms Dorries who said "politicians are to blame" for the general public's disenfranchisement.
