I’m pleased to see that you have included a None Of The Above option in your poll – the ability to withhold consent is central to the concept of democracy after all, and yet we have never had it.
But I’m not sure why you’ve included it as we don’t actually have that option in the UK – even though we should. The main reason people aren’t ticking it on here is because they know it doesn’t exist in reality, so why would they?
If we did have NOTA at the upcoming election, it would be a different story – in fact, it would undoubtedly win, leading to unprecedented electoral reform and the birth of ACTUAL democracy (as opposed to the sham illusion-of-democracy that most people settle for in the UK)
Without NOTA, it isn’t a democracy, it’s as simple as that.
