Can you not cast a blank vote in the UK? No "none of the above" option? The Monster Raving Loony Party is a genuine British political party, established in 1983 by one of my favourite musical characters, Screaming Lord Sutch*. He used to run against the incumbent Prime Minister, and when he lost, invite him to a party to show that there were no hard feelings. When people said that he shouldn’t be allowed to stand, he would point out that he got more votes than the Revolutionary Communist Party candidate, and he was allowed to stand. quote:
Despite its satirical nature, some of the things that have featured in Loony manifestos have become law, such as "passports for pets", abolition of dog licences and all-day pub openings. (Wikipedia) *Although not (it has to be said) one of the World’s greatest musicians.
