Require all eligible UK citizens to vote with a "None of the Above" option

Background
Recently, turnout has often been low, meaning Governments are elected without significant participation. We believe mandatory voting ensures everyone takes part, while a “None of the Above” option protects freedom of choice by allowing voters to reject all candidates. We feel this strengthens legitimacy and public trust in elections.
