None of the above

wonder why in this so called democracy (some claim its not only the envy of the world, but something we have to forcibly install in other countries) almost no-one bothers to vote?
What if you really like to participate in the process, but the 2 clowns offering to run your life are simply too offensive a choice?
None of the above ! This simple and effective idea was actually tried in Russia after the collapse of the Soviet empire. It now isn't offered anymore. I'm assuming that it must have been a little too threatening to the new elite (which strangely resembles the old one ! ).
None of the above: a real necessity in a system that is allowing the voters only the choice between 2 candidates that they very likely wholeheartedly disagree with.
