Voter Power Index


Here's the website explaining why a spoilt ballot paper is a perfectly legitimate choice for General Election polling day. If anything, it explains why spoiling your paper is the only choice.

Hat-tip to @chris_coltrane for the link.

You know me, I'm all for voting rather than spoiling the paper I'm afraid, just seems like a terrible waste to me.

Read your comment with a smile on my face Daniel. Spoiling the paper is a waste whereas voting for one of three parties whose policies are so similar that they are virtually indistinguishable isn't? ;) And, as Voter Power Index demonstrates, if you're not in a marginal then your vote is borderline worthless anyway.

I used that site to figure out what my vote is worth, turns out it is 0.7 of a vote, not as bad as some I suppose.
