So as Jaysay says put a big old cross in the NO box ! you've still voted & had your say & I believe that if more people do this as opposed to voting for another party out of protest, a truer picture of the populaces views on politics & politicians will be reflected. Then maybe, just maybe those who manage to wheedle their way into power, might just start to think. Hard to comprehend I know, but perhaps ???
I don't believe a spoiled ballot paper really gets through the Politicians skulls as "no vote" . Think a better solution is to have a "none of the above" box on the ballot paper .... if 'none of the above' gets the most votes a new election is called with a new slate of candidates, expensive ...yes , but the district/area gets an elected leader with a proper mandate
