"None of the above" is always a tempting choice at British elections, but this year perhaps more than ever. A weary nation is readying fake smiles to greet Labour MPs who will publicly endorse a leader they privately fear could ruin the country.
They are also gritting their teeth to face Conservatives who have failed to deliver Brexit and ousted many of their independent thinkers. Voters are hoping the Liberal Democrats don’t kick off their campaign debating theological questions on gay sex, as they did last time. Rarely has the nation felt so cynical about politics with so much reason.
