I agree. I always think it better to vote for someone, even if it's a best of a bad bunch situation or tactical voting.
Having worked on elections in the past what some people do is write a big cross over the whole of the ballot paper or write something like 'None of the above'. Even though the vote doesn't get counted for any candidate, it's still counted as a vote for the % turnout.

In the unlikely even of a party fielding a candidate in every constituency and winning them all, does anyone know if there is something in place should this situation ever arise?
Sure, they would all have been democratically elected, but there would be no opposition and it would effectively be a dictatorship.
