None of the Above Direct Democracy Party

The None of the Above Direct Democracy Party (NOTA; French: Parti Démocratie Directe Aucune de ces réponses), formerly and still unofficially called the None of the Above Party (French: Parti Aucune de ces réponses), is a minor political party in the province of Ontario, Canada. It is named after the expression "none of the above" and was founded in 2014 by Greg Vezina in response to his disillusionment with the current major political parties.[1] The party aims to "elect independent MPPs who are not bound by party control and who truly can represent their constituents first". It supports the use of referendums, term limits and recall elections.[2]
