What if all the political parties are shit?

spoil your ballot paper
it's still counted but as a vote for none of the above

I draw a CDC in every box and 'not today thank you' at the bottom

imagine if the majority vote for a constituency was spoiled
that would be a message

A spoiled ballot counts as not voting, and so is pointless.

^this
Anyone who thinks a spoiled ballot counts in any way is not only an idiot but a twat too.

I personally feel that staying home is the most effective way of registering your apathy.

I can't even be bothered to stay at home

If they are all in your opinion shit then vote for the least shitty or if the most shitty is in power
vote for the party whose shit best suits your viewpoint and has a chance of getting rid of the shittiest. Not voting generally keeps the shittiest in power. Of course this depends on your personal opinion of what is shit and if you are so resolutely against thinking of anyone but yourself then perhaps you could do people a favour and wank yourself to death.

That's fucking stupid.
If the least shit do get in how are you any more worthy of moaning about their shitness? You voted for them, you prick.
I refuse to vote for self-serving, lying, scheming pricks with no sense of conviction. If I'm going to be used as a punk bitch I don't really see how asking for a particular "big daddy" makes me more entitled to moan about my sore arsehole.

Maybe you should stand for election, then?
That, or be barred from holding opinions.

What good would standing for election do?
I'm not a millionaire lawyer with a PR team.
Besides, what you described is, pretty much, how people do vote and it usually results in voting the last lot out because they fucked up. It has recently, thanks to Gordon Brown right-royally pissing a load of people off and a lot of folks hating the tories, resulted in what we have now.
Somebody who thinks that the way you vote changes anything in the systems we have is somebody who ought to be barred from having an opinion.

My vote goes on fringe candidates with no hope of winning.
I am under no illusions about the effectiveness of my vote, but do feel fully entitled to express my dissatisfaction with the ruling classes, whilst simultaneously looking down on the non-voting/ballot-spoiling crowd.
