'None of the above' as option on ballot paper

Closed 72 signatures

What the petition asks

Party Politics can often be seen as a 'Least worst option'.
If we had the option on the ballot paper to indicate 'none of the above' then this positive act would be reflected in the turnout .
The strength of a democracy is measured, in part, by the turnout at elections. This option would increase the intelligence as to what the electorate view of politicians really looks like. As opposed to voting for 'the least worst option'.
