They're not voting because...
- None of the above
None of the above.....
I find the current batch of politicians lacking in imagination, intellect and integrity. Any vote cast will be taken by a politician as a positive endorsement. The absence of a vote, unfortunately, is almost always taken as evidence of apathy.
My preference would be to be able to register my dislike of most politicians with a "None of the above" option on the ballot paper.
In this way I could not be accused of apathy and be able to register my disappointment with conventioanl politics in a postive manner.
