Voting should be mandatory under the law so if we do see things like this, it is definitively the will of the people.
This is the same line of thinking as "if you don't vote you have no right to complain".
Such bullshit.
Why should you be forced to vote for a party you don't believe in or want to vote for. If none of the candidates stand for principles you can get behind then you should have every right not to vote. Forcing people to vote goes against the whole fucking concept of democracy and freedom for fucks sake.
What is needed is a section under the candidates marked "None of the above" if that gets the most votes they have to go back and start again with policies that the public want.
The meek shall inherit the Earth, the rest of us will fly to the stars.

Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it!
