UK: As was mentioned in another thread, it may be too late for the postal votes in the local elections. But if you wanna vote in the national elections, the please, please, do NOT vote by post.

The address is usually your local council, who can then rip up your vote if it's for the opposition. And unsurprisngly (and hence part of the reason for the major fraud in the last postal votes when Tony Blair cheated his way back into power (so that's why he made friends with Bush? to copy his cheating tactics?), there are no proper safeguards. At least, not at councils run by Labour anyway.

You're making these acusation utterly without fact, heck you could probably be liable if Tony decided to take legal action.

For some reason, I can't see Blair suing over this. :p

Neither do I, but the fact of the matter is the statement is unacceptable and more than anything a load of tripe. :D

Like that really annoying Blairite phrase I threw in there? :-)

Heh, probably. I can play a game of 'guess who I voted for'.

Meh, I've already voted at my polling station, but since I live in a Tory democratic farce, I may as well not vote at all.

Got my polling card, but no trousers on...

Should I get dressed before or after voting?

After, of course!

We all live in a Tory democratic farce. It's called Britain.

Wait...Labour...Tory...which one was the right-wing one again?

I would have gone for during myself. Show up in your underwear and change while you ponder about who to vote for.

If he shows up in his underwear, it'll be quicker for him to whip 'em off and shit in the ballot box. *nods*

Yes.

Egghiccup;12605770']Has anyone ever noticed that it seem to be mainly people of the Asian Persuasion that are involved with these vote frauds?

Seems like it. Still if you look at the wards they represent...they are usually poor council estate type areas.

Back in the day the people in those wards who ran also were involved in fraud.

I don't think its a problem exclusive to Asians....rather of people who are willing to do what it takes (even to breaking the law) to get what they want.

The Asian Persuasion? Is that like the Emancipation Proclamation and the Competition Commission?

Your sensible reasoning and accurate sourced facts have no place here, begone I say.

You're making these acusation utterly without fact, heck you could probably be liable if Tony decided to take legal action.

Edit your post.

I hope he does. I'd love to see him in court.
