What about allocating the total number of seats based purely on percentage of ballots cast.
For example, there are only 100 seats in government (as if that is likely); Party A get 35% of the national vote and so they have 35 seats allocated to them, Party B get 30% so they gain 30 seats, Party C 12%, etc, and None-of-the-Above have 20% of votes so 20 seats are unavailable to anyone.
This way it is real proportional representation and voting for None-of-the above does have an impact. Too simplistic a concept but it lays out an framework idea to start developing a working system.

Like party list voting?
Our current constitutional convention is apparently proposing that change to the Irish electoral system.

That reminds me of an Alexei Sayle skit where to vote, you dunked your head into some disgusting substance. I guess that's what it feels like after the election :haha:

You'll know once you're old enough to vote.:O:

The freedom to choose from a bunch of bad choices is no freedom at all.
