I had an idea this morning, and wondered if anyone had ever tried it before? Rather than wait for the government to introduce a "None of the Above" vote, how about setting up a "None of the above" party? All candidates would have to swear that they are standing only as an outlet for those who think the rest of the candidates are rubbish, but who still want to vote. They would have to make sure that they if they won they would step down as soon as possible to force another vote in their constituency , and never take political office or make any promises. Whaddya reckon? Given the vast number of people who don't vote and might be attracted, it's unlinkely that any NOOA candidates would lose their deposits. |
