Constructive Protest Voting

Instead of "spoiling" ballot papers or staying away from the polls we can vote for None of the Above and add a powerful call for reform.
In british elections there is no formal way for the citizen to show that there are NO suitable candidates to vote for.
Let us assume that in your area there is no parliamentary candidate or party whom you wish to vote for.
WE SUGGEST:
Do not waste your vote, use it to protest and to propose reform.
Here's how to do this:
Register to vote in plenty of time,
On polling day, write on your ballot paper "NONE OF THESE" and ADD your proposal -- we recommend that you write "DIRECT DEMOCRACY NOW" on the ballot paper.
Drop your ballot paper into the box.
