Add a "none of the above" option to all ballot papers.
Consent is central to the concept of democracy. But consent is only measurable if it is possible to withhold it. This is not possible in current elections as the only options available are abstaining and spoiling the ballot in protest - neither being an accurate measure of voter discontent.
The above introduction was based on the following page from 38degrees. This page provides more information and context as to the importance of a "none of the above option"
