Question from
I wish to vote in the upcoming elections for local and EU election but there is no party I can agree with. I plan to draw an X on my ballot but I think that this will not express the fact that there is no party I support.
I think that it would be a good idea that there should be a box to tick on the ballot with
"I choose none of the above candidates" and maybe a line for you to give a reason why.
This would allow people like me to show politicians that I am not being represented by them.
And it would show other potential parties that there is voters who they can appeal outside of voters who have chosen a particular party leading to a more representative spread of parties and ideas.
What is your opinion on this idea of mine and if elected on this upcoming election would you support it?
