Rejected petition To amend the General election ballot paper to always include "none of the above"

More details

To amend the general election ballot paper to always include "None of the above". This will allow the distinction between voters who feel there is no suitable representation for them and voters who simply do not want to vote. This will also demonstrate whether the government truly has a mandate for its policies.
