the idea of a spoilt ballot is to show disapproval at the current system. If enough people spoil their papers (ie the majority) then, in theory, the queen will have to tell all political parties to disband and start again.JoshrewCAFC said:
Its better to vote for an actual party - so vote for a minor party - because even if Labour win in Eltham for example, they still get analysts to see why so many people voted for smaller parties. It actually has a greater impact than spoiling your ballot as the major parties start to worry about why support for minor parties is increasing. For example when the Greens initially became popular the major parties began to adopt environmental policies and this can be seen in this election too with UKIP as ALL the major parties are now a lot stricter on immigrantion policies, so without malking a meaningful vote you can still have an impact.lancashire lad said:Spoilt ballot paper so that my disgust with all the main parties is registered, it's better than not voting
I think they do also look at the number of spoilt ballots but these figures don't tell them what people actually want.1 -
This would never happen which is why voting for a minor party (if you don't like the major ones) is effective whereas spoiling your ballot is pretty much ineffectivekentaddick said:

Voting for minor parties shows your disapproval of the major parties3 -
Undecided but my own business anyway ;-)2

Conservative.
Labour destroyed our economy and though I'm told that's not the case by Labour defenders....
Who also say it's the Conservatives fault 1st time buyers are getting older and living at home longer, However it was a conservative scheme that got me on the property ladder.
It is under a conservatives that we have crawled out of the recession that we fell into under labour.
However I don't get involved with or listen to all the background crap and bitching between the parties and their corrupt ways, so i'm sure people will tell me i'm wrong and I should vote X, Y or Z instead.

I think you HAVE to vote with an "X" mate, just putting a "Z" next to conservative make it look like you think they are boring.......Dazzler21 said:Conservative.

Labour (sorry to ignore the rules, but others have written missives - so to qualify, I would vote Tory if I was in a constituency where they were more likely to keep UKIP out. There is no party that really represents my views, Labour are too right, The Greens too mental and I'm not Scottish...).2
