This petition was submitted during the 2017 to 2019 Parliament
Rejected petition Make "non of the above" legal on ALL ballot papers
Rejected on
There are usually only the 3 main parties on a ballot paper allow "non of the above" available to show contempt for the parties.
Every time we have an election we are given the 3 main parties to choose from (some who know they will be elected) so that the people of this country can show their disapproval in the election choices.
If a candidate needs a minimum amount of votes and the majority vote "non of the above" that should be a clear signal to the politicians.
