Does it help?? May be a few thousand votes are lost for all the parties! But in the near future, a seperate symbol should be added to the list, wherein the voter can indicate that none of the parties listed in teh ballot paper deserve his vote. This will definitely open the eyes of the parties who are at your door step only during election. Election commission should think very seriously about this symbol as well. I think this symbol wil get more votes than all others.
