Police commissioner elections: I'm spoiling my paper

What a lot of popycock this is. It seems to me to be a leaflet making competition as I don't know any of the candidates. I have decided to spoil my paper.

We haven't had a single leaflet about all of this. I think I am going to go down the spoilt paper route too.

That's why I'm spoiling my paper poppywearer and pirates. I just can't bring myself not to vote. I am trying to get my friends to do the same hoping that if enough people spoil some sort of message will get through. My partner has already done his as he has a postal vote.

Sounds like a reasonable alternative. Getting a bit sick of hearing how they are worried about a low turn out when they haven't even bothered to put one leaflet through my door to tell me who the candidates are.

I'm struggling with this too - the thought of not voting in any election just seems completely wrong, but don't really agree with the concept and not one of the candidates has deigned to send a leaflet so no idea what they stand for.

Thankfully no BNP candidate round here, though there is UKIP - not in the same league I know, but still think I should at least try to keep them out.

Oops, sorry!

I was really struggling with the idea of not turning up. I am evangelical about voting.

Spoiling my paper, that I can do.

I'm doing the same Cartoon. I have to go and vote (I just couldn't bring myself not to turn up!) but I'm spoiling my paper.

It's nonsense.

I considered doing the same, as I disagree with the whole idea and no absolutely nothing about any of the candidates. However, in the end I decided I had better vote against the BNP and that was quite important.
