Unless the electoral process in your constituency differs from mine, my decision to not vote is just that - no vote at all. It's not a vote for anyone. Many good men, and some rubbish ones as well, died to give us all the right to vote. Doesn't mean we have to use it though. It wouldn't be right to waste something as precious as a vote and if I don't know who I would like as my MP I shouldn't vote.
