    I guess it would lead to politicians being even more sycophantic before elections to not exhibit any possible trait that could be seen as negative.
    Not a good system, I think.

      They already do that.

      As others said, the practical interpretation of OP’s idea would be that you just vote down all the candidates you don’t want to win. Then the least-disliked (read: most moderate and inoffensive) candidate wins. Good. This is what should happen. Government should be moderate and boring. In an ideal world the government would never be in the news because things are going well and nothing of note is happening.
