Ballot-box deceptions

Nothing NuLabour gets up to should surprise.

Rotten to the core, at least I have a clear conscience and have never voted for them:)

Former Member

So, when the results show a large loss of seats for Labour (which it will), you won't believe it then?

Former Member

Doh! :rolleyes:

Former Member

Hey what?

What is worng with it exactly, I believe they use it in plenty of other places and I have been very happy with it as has everyone i know.

You don't actually have it your area do you and you can't even vote!

Whats this about the MPs fiddling?

You do know that ballot box voting is corruptable too, don't you?

Former Member

I am not sure why exactly, I could easily stand round the corner form a polling booth and give people fivers if they promise to vote for so and so a party or go on and on at people I know persuading them to vote one way.......

I could also go into every polling station in the country and cast a vote. I can be registered in several places etc etc etc

BTW It is also possible to find out how someone has voted - even though it is supposed to be "secret"

Former Member

I am registered in two places..

Former Member

Well you could use one vote and sell the other on ebay then

Former Member

Hmmmmm, I proably wouldn't cover the cost of the stamp with the apathy around..:rolleyes:

I was honest and only used one.........:)

I still can't get a link, maybe the problem is my end?

Anyway, the row - was it based on actual events or media hype, do we know?

Former Member

Former Member

Former Member

Former Member

Okay that link seems to work for me, anyone else?

Former Member

yeah that works.......

Former Member

postal votes aren't looking such a good idea even before the electon

:rolleyes:

Former Member

Unbelievable one minute people can't be bothered next thing there's insurrection in the streets!!! :eek2:

Must be the weather, who are the PJP anyway?

Former Member

From what I could find on the Net, it appears they are a tiny party comprised essentially of Kashmiris in the Birmingham area. Their focus seems predominantly that of a free Kashmir (internationally) and separate education for girls (domestically).

People's Justice Party

Former Member

and more

:mad:

Former Member

Hmmm, the more I here about it the more it does appear there has been some serious abuse.

To be fair there were alwas going to be teething problems, I don't think it invalidates the concept as awhole, just shows it needs to be monitored more closely, also the police seem to be on to any wrongdoing pretty quickly, they seem to be prepared........

Former Member

Why was it attempted?

The choice of region NW mainly , suggests an anti-BNP stategy ( I don't think NuLabour would do anything for the benefit of the voting public generally)

The allegiances of particularly Asians seem to be more manipulatable by Community Elders, maybe NuLabour were aware of that

In response to an earlier questoin, if NuLabour drop seats (Ihope they do)I hope there's lots of awkward legal challenges to the results with re-elections if need be

So patronising aren't you?

How on earth was it 'NW mainly', are Yorkshire and the E.midlands in the NW?

How is it for the benefit of the voting public to encourage higher voter turnout to see off the BNP, quite the opposite I would say.......

Former Member

patronising, moi?

Anything that would foul up BNP prospects would be considered

I don't know why it was attempted, I'd expect the worst of motives from Labour

Former Member

Why not foul up BNP prospects, bloody good idea I think, and don't whinge aboiut 'democratic values' because they haven't got any........

Former Member

and don't whinge aboiut 'democratic values' because they haven't got any........

don't presume my response you pompous twat

Why not foul up BNP prospects, bloody good idea I think

ends justify the means , eh, what a democrat you aren't

Former Member

Now, don't lets get the thread closed won by Jade before the results are through!

Was guessing at a response in general, sorry to offend so much.....

I do not think parties who have no respect for subsections of the populations of this nation, something which is fundamentally undemocratic, should be able to hide behind the democracy themselves.

Why is undemocratic to and increase voter turnout precisely?
