Add option to vote "None of the above" in all UK elections.
The only way to indicate if we find no candidate acceptable is to vote for a fringe or comedy option (eg. Lord Buckethead, the Monster Raving Loony Party, UKIP) or to not vote at all. Neither really makes the voter's intention clear, though.
A vote for "None of the above" solves this problem.
The NOTA option is widely used in other democracies and should have already been put to public consultation in the UK, according to a 2015 Parliamentary Committee that the Govt ignored and abolished.
