It is probably closer to 1% for us. Jack Vowles wrote a good article recently about political polls. I can't find a link to his recent article but this one from 2001 gives the picture.

No-no-no. Not even slightly yes, just NO.. Your proposal is to disenfranchise around 20% of voters (by current polls), not to mention those in safe electorates (whose votes become worthless), and worst of all moving back to the tyranny of the minority whereby a party with 40% of the vote could push through any legislation they wanted, at all, without limits or controls. No. Uh-uh, no. No. sockie,

Oh no. No-no-no.
