I remain to be convinced that spoiling ones ballot paper is anything other than a waste of time for all concerned.
A letter and pressure on the elected after the election whosoever that may be, has to be better all round.
People made sacrifices to get the vote for women in particular and it's a crying shame people abuse it. I would make voting mandatory with a fine for them that don't get off their arses to use it.
