UK: none of the above => not legal

In the UK (well, England anyway) the None of the Above option is explicitly banned, and any organisation or candidate who appears to be standing on such a platform will be blocked, howver reasonable their case may appear to be. This happened to at least two organisations in the last couple of general elections.

See e.g. https://nota-uk.org/
