Yes - in this case you could spoil your paper ... doesn't count towards any of the candidates but does count towards the overall turnout and is recorded as part of the figures for your constituency.

If there were more people spoiling their papers than any of the candidates I'd say that would be a pretty clear message that none of them were representing "the people."

dxmedia:
They dont count defaced papers.

The reason that the election has been media media media this year is becuase last time 40% of voters didnt ! Isn't that a loud enough voice for someone to take notice?


I think that they are all scum. I've met more than 1 of them too. I refuse to add my vote to any of them.

I do agree though, voting ought to be forced, and there should be a box always that has no confidence in it. Until that occurs or there is a general referendum I'm not putting my name to any of them.

(also means I can blame you lot when it all goes tits up again ;) )








Remember remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder, treason
Should ever be forgot.

If they died for anything it was to give me the freedom to vote and with that I am free to choice not to use my vote if I wish. If I felt that freedom was endangered I would then choose to cast a vote or fight for it but as it stands the out come of this election is meaningless.
