Good point re. spoiling the ballot paper. If you don't want to vote, I think that is much better than simply not bothering to turn up.
It does wind me up when people I know whinge about things, & then when asked "So, who are you voting for then?" reply "Oh, I never bother voting. Can't be bothered / don't like politics / etc.".
