THE local elections are almost upon us.

I know my vote will not count because I do not wish to vote for either of the main parties, and do not expect to have any other choice.

Why then can there not be a box on the ballot paper to say that I am not willing to vote for any of the candidates on offer?

This will give a true picture of the feelings of Darlington’s voters.

The silent majority might then be heard.
