Have you/will you spoil your ballot?

Today I have for the first time ever. I know I'll be flamed by some but the available choices don't know what a woman is. I had fun with my pencil but it sits uneasy with me.

I have been debating what to do and I still cannot decide. Vote for the least worst, spoilt my paper, not turn up at all. I've never not voted. I've never spoilt my ballot paper. I've never felt so opposed to choosing a candidate.

@CervixSampler oh because it's on the internet then it must be true ConfusedHmm

Trust me, from experience, I know they will not be read or passed on (at least in my area).

It is a complete waste of time and does not get your point across.

I spoiled my ballot because I have a hard-won right to vote and I will never, ever not use my ballot.

And I will not vote for parties who take women's votes for granted while not giving a shit about them.

So it was the only option.

I voted for our Tory councillor but he is excellent. A very active member of the community.

ReginaaPhalange other threads have said this is not true.

I technically didn't. I did use a female symbol rather than an X though, and wrote "woman = adult human female" in big writing. Made me feel better, and if any GC women are involved in the count they will see that they are not alone.

What a complete waste. Your ballot will not be read or passed on, it's simply a waste of time. You may as well not have turned up!
