I have no problem with people abstaining but they should have to actively abstain rather than not bother to vote.
My brother wants compulsary voting with none of the above as one of the options. If you get less votes than none of the above you lose your deposit and cannot run for public office for the term of the post you stood for. If none of the above wins, the election gets rerun with fresh candidates.
