I don't think it has, I'm wondering if you read what I put at all, the post wasn't that long, as nowhere has it been addressed :/

'Royal mail' is no longer no longer the organisation it once was therefore I feel as a private venture it is unsuitable for this task as it no longer has the level of impartiality required being owed by shareholders as opposed to the public.

Your post doesn't make much sense, but what I'm getting from it is, who oversees a postal vote once it's in the mail system? It is a criminal offence to tamper with the mail in this country and carries stiff penalties just as tampering with a ballot box does. And people don't have to post them, they can ask someone to take them to a polling station and hand them to the polling officer if they're worried that the Royal Mail isn't secure.

If you want to know anything else I might have to start the clock.

It makes perfect sense to anyone not attempting to fudge the issue.

What on earth would I have to gain by fudging the issue? I gave my professional opinion. If you don't like the answer doesn't mean what I've stated is untrue. I'm telling you what the law is and the function of electoral services and the Election Commission. But apparently, you know better. Which is funny... because seriously... you don't.

Being a registered voter I have enough information and intelligence to understand the differing methods of voting and their uses, but if it makes you feel better to act superior in all areas then I won't attempt to take that away from you.

As a voter you don't have the kind of information I do as an election agent. That is not setting myself up, nor is it knocking anyone down. It's just the way it is. If someone on here was a professional in a certain area, I'd be interested to hear their opinion, I wouldn't get all huffy because they knew something I didn't.

If you want to continue to trip-trap over my bridge... I won't take that away from you.

If you want to set yourself up as a troll I won't take that away from you.

You haven't stated anything that is not already known by every voter in the UK though... what esoteric knowledge do you have?
You vote at a station the box is sealed and transported with representatives of the electoral commission... You post your vote and it ends up wherever with whoever, as regularly reported.

I have had 4 Birthday cards posted this year that never arrived,3 I sent to others and one that someone sent to me.

I still think the mail is as fairly secure but now there is also rarely a regular postman any more,I have 3 different ones at all times of the day every week.
I agree the post is worse now than I can recall it being, through my life.

Maybe when Theresa May and this govt. bring us out of the EU, they could look at our postal service, this is in fact possibly a good chance and time to look at everything and maybe go back to the drawing board on a lot of things across the UK.

I sent a birthday card and a balloon to a family member who works on a ship that is currently somewhere near New York. Both arrived safely and in time.
