The cryptocretin thread is over there.

There really should be a 'none of the above' box on the ballot paper so that this is properly recorded.

The simple method is to spoil the ballot paper: I believe that gets recorded differently to people who didn't vote at all.

Thinking back to my uni days, each student election would have an option for "RON": Re-Open Nominations. If RON won, the election would be repeated. However, I'm not sure how that would work at national level. Does the constituency go without an MP indefinitely? Does the current person get to stay in the job until a new person is found?

If there is an election there isn't a sitting MP...

Anyway, most elections have minority candidate you can vote for if none of yhe main parties appeal to you.
