			spoiled votes are recorded in the voting figures, apathy is recorded in the turn out.

 To me if you really can't bring yourself to vote for one of the parties in the running this at least makes some sense as a protest vote.

			It's why this country is ****ed, you can offer up a ****ing essay on all the factual reasons why you shouldn't trust Boris and tory voters will respond with 'Well he likes dogs so he mustn't be that bad so I'm gonna vote for him xx Who needs the NHS anyway? The Tories keep telling me it's broken and I believe them!'

			I think it's a decent way to protest if you really can't bring yourself to vote for anyone. Not voting at all will just go down as "couldn't be bothered" where as a deliberately spoiled vote says, "I want to vote, I made the effort but none of you represent me"

			I always remember when I was young listening to the count in Ireland as my grandmother had great interest in politics, and wondered how people could spoil their votes when it was such a simple thing to put a x in a box, it was only years later I understood they simply couldn't bring themselves to vote for any of the parties but wanted their vote registered at the same time
