Ok The Conspiracy Theories Are Off And Running.....postal Votes...etc

[ToraToraTora]

A few sour grape whinners about but I don't think for a minute there was anything remotely bent about the Scottish referendum though it does highlight an issue. Personally I don't think postal votes should be allowed. If you don't care enough to go and vote then you don't deserve to vote in my opinion.

Thanks Farrier, I think.

How are postal votes guaranteed to come from the entitled voter? Whilst I understand the need for many groups to have a postal vote but they seem open to abuse.

Before Postal Votes the political parties arranged transport for those needing it

Tower Hamlets, they found 2 bedroom flats that had over a 100 postal votes. (after the election)

For those too idle to consult wiki

The Representation of the People Act 1985 subsequently made provision for these extensions to the right to apply for an absent vote.

I thought I had a postal vote in 1973 but clearly I didnt
