I disagree. Fancy being elected by less votes than the number of spoiled papers. What sort of credibility would such politicians have? If we want better we have to show the current encumbents how little we think of them, not just stay at home and moan about how they don't represent us. If 100% of the electorate bothered to turn out and the majority of papers were spoiled it'd be perfectly obvious what that meant. It's only the low turnouts which allow these people to get away with claiming there's no proof of how those who didn't vote would have done so.
