We compare Seyfert 2 galaxies(Sy2s) with detected polarized broad emission lines(PBL) with Sy2s without detected PBL and find that the majority of Sy2s without PBL are those sources with less powerful AGN activity, most likely caused by low accretion rates. This implies that the detectability of polarized broad emission lines in Sy2s mainly depends on their central AGN activity in most cases. We also find that Sy2s without PBL follow the exactly same FIR-radio relation as normal and starburst galaxies.
