Question Nothing when turning the key to start

So....
recently i have been having trouble starting my volvo.
put the key in, turn it to postion II everything comes on, dash lights up warning lights go off as usual, turn the key to start and nothing happens at all most of the time. so i repeat the process until it starts basically keep turning on and off then it will fire up. then on other days it will start on the first turn??
Throught it might be the battery so checked the existing battery it seemed fine, hooked it up to a mains charger and it was charged in 10mins but it still had the same problem, next step was to get a new battery witha higher CCA as the current battery was about 4 years old and does lots of short journeys.
Still got the same problem, the alternator is fine, the connections are fine.
Could it be a relay somewhere??
It seems like when i turn the key nothing tells the engine to start, theres no clicking or trying to turn over it just blank.
