I will go to the polling station though just to spoil my paper, to show l've thought about my action.

Revolutions aside. Would spoiling your paper not be the same as not voting in the first place, all you will accomplish is wasting paper and prolonging the count, would you not? Spoiling your paper as a political statement it’s ineffective, they will record your spoiled paper but only as a statistic of voting attitudes. Outside of that no one will really notice. If you are to do anything please use your vote. Even if you use it as a protest vote it still might make some difference.
