The voters of France, which suffers from both of the problems you mentioned, appear to emphatically disagree.

25% of french voters did not show up.

12% of voters that did come vote put in a blank ballot paper.

Macron received 65% of votes despite being against the most opposed competitor on the french political scene.

We do not seem to give the same meaning to "emphatically disagree".

I doubt it - le Pen was just too much to swallow this time around.
