With elections looming, there must be thousands of us who want to vote but do not really like or approve of the policies of any of the major parties.

To spoil the paper or vote for an alternative party is the only option in this sense.

I think it would be a good idea to mark a box labelled “no confidence” or similar so those of us who want to vote can be registered as having protested and not just be counted as a no-vote.
