If people only have a choice between evils--be it republicans or democrats, leave or remain, tories, labour lib-dems etc. --then those who don't want any of them are coerced into making a choice they don't want, it violates the principles of consent at a very basic level. Consent must be free of coercion by definition, otherwise it is not consent. And when the costs of not picking a side are too high, the voter relationship with the government becomes non-consensual.
