"Voter fraud could determine the outcome of the general election as evidence has emerged of massive postal vote rigging. Police have launched 50 criminal inquiries nationwide amid widespread cases of electoral rolls being packed with "bogus" voters.

Officials have reported a flood of postal vote applications in marginal seats, and there is actually a possibility that the result of the election could be decided by electoral fraud.

The Metropolitan Police are examining 28 claims of major abuses across 12 boroughs, with 4 separate investigations in Tower Hamlets.

LABOUR supporters stand accused of packing the electoral roll at the last minute with relatives living overseas or simply inventing phantom voters." (Daily Mail today)

This is typical of New Labour who will lie and cheat to stay in power. Unsurprisingly it's immigrants who are taking advantage of the loophole in postal voting (which has only cursory checks in place) since they are requesting postal votes for relatives who do not even live in this country. Now we know why New Labour were so keen to extend postal voting, and to keep our borders open.

There is NO WAY that Labour can win this election UNLESS there is fraudulent voting. God what a despicable party. Vote rigging is rife in many parts of the world, but this country has always had an honourable democracy. This to me just epitomises everything that is wrong with New Labour.

Postal voting is a really bad idea for the following reasons. The ballot is no longer completely secret. Nothing to stop someone selling his/her vote. People might get intimidated or bribed into voting a certain way. The post can be intercepted. The authorites know who everyone voted for.

No reason to have it, apart from for people who actually can't get to a polling station.
