that’s the - “I wouldn’t vote at all” option surely?
Not voting at all is simply not bothering to turn up, therefore not registering an opinion.

Ticking a "No suitable candidate" option on the ballot is saying "I took the time to come and exercise my democratic right to tell you all I think you're f'ing useless and I wouldn't trust you with a wheel barrow let alone a country!"

I take my right to vote seriously and I will always take the time to visit the polling station in a general election. There was no party or candidate I felt deserved my vote last election so I spoiled my ballot paper. That’s different to not voting.
Next election is a way off yet; I will have to think about the manifestos the parties campaign on. At the moment it looks like it might be another vote for the 🐓and🏀🥎 party. ☹️

Having met and done business with three of the 'Monster raving loons' over several years, I am happy to report that if they stood on substantial policies, they would each exceed expectations, and kick the main stream into oblivion.

By not voting you risk allowing extremist nut jobs in. That's how Farage/Ukip got on the EU gravy train, because too many folk in the UK thought the European Parliament elections were less important than even the local council ones.
