dune Posted 4 May, 2010 Author Share Posted 4 May, 2010 Is that before or after rigging the postal vote...? (allegedly) I am aware of this shocking development. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/election/article-1271457/General-Election-2010-Postal-vote-fraud-amid-fears-bogus-voters-swing-election.html I was listening to a programme on Radio 4 yesterday and the fraud is focussed primarily on a region of Pakistan (forgive me for not remembering the exact place) where many of the Pakistani immigrants descend from. There is a practice adopted by many that have returned to Pakistan (but still hold British citizenship) to give their voting right to elders back in Britain who choose who the pool of votes should go to.

I'm assuming he didn't quite see the irony in that statement given c.72% of the country don't want a Labour government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Conservative candidate up in Morley made a very good speech in the town centre husting. Immigration is a real issue up there and after Balls derision of the BNP the Tory candidate made the point that before 1997 there wasn't a single BNP councillor or MEP. His words were carefully chosen and will appeal to Labour voters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ladbrokes part says LibDems will hold my seat (Portsmouth South) but the Finktank bit seems to suggest Conservatives will take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
