Vote of abstain on general election ballot papers
I propose that all future general election ballots should include an abstain option with a designated area next to it explaining breifly your reasons. With this we can separate out apathy from people who have lost faith in the poilitical system and wish to tell the government in a clear and precise manner they are not happy. This is as a formal alternative to "spoiling the ballot paper", which people have used in the past.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
