I don't yet know what the overall turnout was. I think it might have been higher at my particular polling station, if it weren't at the Oxford Centre for Mission Studies: no one, even the locals, knows what or where it is, unless they've voted there before, as I had. Or, I suppose, are missionary types, which most of us aren't!
