Question about switch wiring

Hey, I just bought the posh factory mini switches and I am using an off/on/off switch on the right as a kill switch. On the website, it is specified that the switch is a Single pole double throw with center off. Here is the question: What happens to the electrical current that goes in the middle pole (that is always off). Is it a ground? Is it a dead end?

Also, what is the best way to wire a kill switch? Cut the ground to the ignition coil (breaker point) , cut the power to the ignition coil?

Thanks a lot for the help, I am really puzzled on this one.

(PS, the bike is a 1974 xl250, just in case)
