Provide a "None of the above" option on all election ballot papers.

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

Please make it a legal requirement to provide a "None of the above" option on all election ballot papers in the UK.
A "None of the above" option on a ballot paper would provide a voice for people to express their displeasure at the current state of politics, millions of people have no representation and feel none of the party's represent their interests or values, all too often the public have to either vote for the least worst or not vote at all.

A "None of the above" option would allow people to vote and express their displeasure of the available candidates.
