none of the above on the ballet

[mjp]

One of the things I would like to see on the ballet is none of the above. You know when the candidate sucks so bad you just stay home and not vote. I think that if this were to happen, people would just goto vote none of the above just on the point of saying to the candidates in their riding that they suck.

I think just that option alone would raise voter turnout by at least 10%.

I think that people would pile into cars just to say they voted for no one. That option would make everyone happy. After all, in some cases candidates are just useless as they are back benchers...

You know, for all those people who would pick "none of the above", there is another option. They could run for office themselves and put their thoughts, beliefs and opinions in the limelight for everyone else to scrutinize. If the choices are so terrible, step up to the plate.
