If people don't post in English I just ignore the post.

[dannyk13]

Va bene mi dispiace se t'ho offeso.

[Zacs-Master]

Prego.

[SparklyKid]

I ignore them as well, stupid practice.

[steg]

No offence taken, just think you were being a bit of a front bottom

[dannyk13]

Stegm everyone is entitled to an opinion, no matter how misguided they are.

[Jackdaw33]

I see nothing wrong in posting in a foreign language as long as you provide a translation, which I always do.

[steg]

Just as long as they express it in a manner that suits you :)

[hereIam]

Oh God Percy is showing his true colours again.

[Mamyalynne]

I will need time to think.

Percy is a good name for a God.

[JimF]

Nice one, Steg. Me too.

[pixie374]

Not sure between two yet- or whether anyone voting wrongly will just be ignored anyway.

[THECORBYLOON]

Can I just ask what is the point of the "None Of The Above" option?

Folk can choose a named party, "Other" or "I'm Not Going To Vote"- if it's none of them, what other option is there?

[davebro]

As an entry on the ballot paper it would be for people who want their presence made known by the fact they have completed a ballot but don't support any of the candidates?

[lankeela]

As a counting clerk I can assure you that if you spoil your ballot paper it will be scrutinised to make sure you are not losing a valid vote then just chucked on the pile so it won't actually have any effect on anything. Nobody is going to be sitting there rocking backwards and forwards saying woe is me because you spoilt your paper.

[davebro]

Of course - but in your own mind you will have exercised your franchise & if compulsory voting were to be introduced it would be preferable to have such an option rather than just scrawling something or posting a blank sheet.

[ichkeria]

“None of the above” as far as is concerned would be granting an indulgence to flouncers.
The ballot paper should list the candidates and nothing else.
You can always write “none of the above” on the paper if you wish

[Jackdaw33]

I agree. If you don't want to vote for any of the candidates you simply don't vote at all.

[ToraToraTora]

Ne illigitemato carbarundum!

[Jackdaw33]

That is dreadful Latin, though I know what you mean.
