The VETO Option:
The Best Idea in the World?
People scratch their heads and wonder why governments don’t listen to their voters. It’s because the electoral system isn’t democratic.
Right now, we’re stuck in a system that often ignores us, and that’s in its design; elections can crown winners without majority consent.
The fix is to add a VETO option to ballots. It gives voters ultimate power; it allows you to reject bad choices, or the election itself, if the one you prefer can’t get elected. No more tactical voting, or choosing the “least-worst”, or withdrawing completely.
If over 50% veto, re-run the election until we get real options. Governments now can only form with majority consent.
The government will finally focus on what matters—your interests, like fixing the NHS, housing, immigration, and the economy—instead of their own ideological preferences This isn’t just reform; it’s taking control. Take the politicians out and usher in smart, solution-focused governance that works for everyone.

Introduce a “VETO” Option on Ballots for UK Elections
Every signature boosts our credibility to advocate on your behalf. Help us help you.
The current “lead, follow, or get-out-of-the-way” electoral model is undemocratic and makes it difficult for voters to have a meaningful say in elections. It puts far too much power into the hands of political parties at the expense of voters.
If the major parties stop operating in good faith or become incompetent; it’s very difficult for voters to reassert control, in effect, parties can become feral and operate without democratic oversight with possibly devastating impact.
The veto option is a simple and costless way for voters to regain control over their own country and ensure our elected representatives put interests of voters above all else. The sooner we rid ourselves of the ghastly “lead, follow or get-out-of-the-way” electoral system, the sooner we can put ourselves on the path to maximise the common good.

What is the VETO option?
This option will ensure that the political system works for voters. Currently, voters serve a political system that may not benefit them. We want to make voters count again, and by doing so, they can elect people focused on serving them above all else.

Adding a VETO option to ballots
Include the VETO option by the time of the next UK general election. A rerun would be required only if a majority of voters in that constituency, district or county VETO the election. There should be no limits on re-runs or original election candidates standing again.
A democratic electoral system requires consent, and the veto provides it.
