Allow people to vote either for or against in elections
People are feeling disenfranchised by politics, with political parties in general and the illusion of choice that our political spectrum offers.
Often people are presented with the 'least bad' option and resort to voting for a party they do not truly believe in, nor feel represents them, simply because they feel an obligation to engage in the voting process or because they view it as the lesser of two evils.
Why not allow people to vote against the party they dislike the most, rather than for the party they dislike the least? The principle of 'one person, one vote' would remain unchanged, but that one vote could be used for a party, or against a party.
Every vote against, cancels out a vote for. This would allow even the most disillusioned voters to express their preferences and would give a voice to the most hardened cynics.
It's a simple idea. They're often the best ones.
