Rejected petition Vote Other

More details

This petition is to ensure that on the ballot sheets at the next general election there will be an option to "Vote Other".

By not having this option people do not have the ability to show up at the ballot box and effectively state "none of the above".

If there is this option I believe that more people will be encouraged to vote and if a large enough group of people do indeed vote other, this may lead to a vote of no confidence in the current parties and system encouraging the people to campaign for rewriting the British constitution.
