>With donkey votes (vandalised ballots) counted as votes for the current government

That is completely untrue. Informal votes are not counted at all.

That's odd. In the UK spoiled ballots are quite definitely counted.

"The number of Blank Votes and Spoiled Ballots are read out at the count, along with the results and are also included in subsequent reports. Your apathy towards the political parties will be heard not just forgotten."

My apologies, bad wording.

They're counted here too - just not towards any particular political party.
