If you don't want to vote for any of the candidates, there is nothing to stop
you spoiling your vote as a way of distinguishing youself from the "can't be
bothered" brigade - at least that way your vote will (sort of) count.
(Perhaps ballot papers should be more like customer surveys with a question
along the lines of :"Please tell us why you have chosen not to vote for any of
the above candidates")
Personally, I opted for the candidate I thought could do least harm which is, I
suspect, probably the best that we can hope for in the current state of local
democracy.
