[QUOTE="East coast navy, post: 2416824, member: 46214"] This is on wiki... A [B]protest vote[/B] (also known as a [B]blank vote[/B] or [B]white vote[/B]) is a [URL='https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vote']vote[/URL] cast in an [URL='https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Election']election[/URL] to demonstrate the voter's dissatisfaction with the choice of candidates or refusal of the current [URL='https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics']political[/URL] system. In this latter case, protest vote may take the form of a valid vote, but instead of voting for the mainstream candidates, it is a vote in favor of a minority or fringe candidate, either from the [URL='https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far-left']far-left[/URL], [URL='https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far-right']far-right[/URL] or self-presenting as a candidate foreign to the political system. Along with [URL='https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstention']abstention[/URL], which is simply the act of not voting, it is often considered to be a clear sign of the lack of popular legitimacy and roots of representative democracy, as depressed voter turnout endangers the credibility of the whole [URL='https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voting_system']voting system[/URL]. If protest vote takes the form of a blank vote, it may or may not be tallied into final results depending on the rules. Thus, it may either result in a [URL='https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoilt_vote']spoilt vote[/URL] (which is the case most of the time) or, if the [URL='https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_system']electoral system[/URL]accepts to take it into account, as a "[URL='https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/None_of_the_Above']None of the Above[/URL]" vote. No one knew they were changing the line up. By the time everything happened it was to late... Oh well.. If they wanted to be in office they should have ran against them. [/QUOTE]
