We usually get about 33% turnout in the village and think we've done well. No-one lives more than half a mile from the polling station  noooo:

Local Tories rang and asked if we wanted a lift one year ~ I couldn't not tell them I am the key holder to the polling station because I live opposite.

I know this will never happen but recent events have got me thinking. What would happen if nobody at all turned out to vote in a general elextion or everyone ticked a 'none of the above' box?

Taking that question seriously the constitutional position is that although we elect Members of Parliament the Monarch can select anyone she chooses to ask them to form a Government and they may then appoint their cabinet ~ none of whom have to be elected ~ and carry on as before.

 Of course it will never happen but ...................  rubschin:



On balance I would prefer to see the candidates slug it out in the ring.

I see that there are very very few who have not claimed a "second homes allowance" or have been realistic in their claiming.
