It really is time we had a None of the Above option - and not just as a peripheral protest vote either.
Probably the most important development in democracy since the universal franchise - it's time to get serious about it.

Alan Howlett replies: Just for clarity, I must declare that I am a Labour Party Candidate for Nottinghamshire County Council.
What I have seen of Independents locally is that it is very hard to be sure of what policies they really support, and it's hard to be sure that they are decent people.
