Yeah, I was really skeptical about the whole ballot-spoiling thing, because it never gets enough traction to be noticed. It's a little better than abstaining, but not much. However, with such a small turnout even a few thousand spoiled ballots is significant, and the campaign has used social media really well to draw attention to what they're doing. I am really pleased about the inquiry, I didn't expect it, because if the government starts off by not giving people any choice about a change they often don't pay any attention to protests. I'm glad to have been wrong in this case.
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
