Yes, Caledonian
Rerun it
I don't think it's silly - it simply doesn't tend to happen. If none of the above wins any kind of vote, it suggests such an extreme level of apathy and disconentment that it really should cause them to stop and rethink the whole thing
Why would you want your supposed enemies to do something that will benefit them
our average turnout is ~66%
that means we've had elections where abstain was 2nd
we may live to see a GE where abstain "wins"
Not voting != voting for "none of the above"
lol what an arbitrary distinction
It's not arbitrary at all
It's expressing a preference as opposed to not expressing a preference
how laughable
many people express their preference by not voting
their all shit so they dont go
no point they say
so yes its an arbitrary distinction
there isn't even an "abstain" on the ballot in a GE
Some people want to vote minor parties but think theres no point
Spoiling your ballot is the formal abstain option, though you're right - general elections -should- have "none of the above" on them
so while in practice it's an arbitrary distinction because of the way general elections are set up, but in principle, and in the case of the labour election where "none of the above" -was- an option, it's not an arbitrary distinction
It should be on there for the lulz if nothing else
i can't imagine whos idea it was to put none of the above on the ballot

heh
i wanted Nandy to win
i want labour to die and another workers party be founded to be the challenger
so i guess i'll wait and see
I'd like to see something that's like, a party for the every man, a place that cares about the little guy, that's not bound to unions
a workers party, that wants to look out for the workers, that's not infected with complete horror
Under Starmer Labour will become the party of the limosine liberal and of the campaigne socialist.
hasn't it only been a few hours
wat
cool, so they'll become the dems
i'm fine with that
let them eat cake
what am i looking at?
I think it's a 5g router or something?
lunatics thinking 5g is behind the virus
