http://downingstreetsays.com/briefings/2007/05/02/4096 Every day the Prime Minister's Spokesman meets a small coterie of political journalists known as 'the lobby' for a topical chat, or 'briefing'.

Postal voting fraud questions asked, but we have now moved on from that cock-up to the next, over spoilt ballot papers in Scotland (basic mistakes on the layout of forms + another expensive I.T.system which does not work). Postal fraud in the last elections resulted in a High Court Judge saying our electoral system was, Quote: "Enough to shame a Banana Republic". These Politicians obviously have not got a clue about information technology so i suggest they stick to the tried, trusted and tested method of balloting, your name is cross referenced with the electoral list then you use an H.B. pencil to place an X on a piece of paper against the candidate of your choice these are then counted by a machine that works (people) sounds logical to me, "if it ain't broke don't fix it", NOT: "it work's fine so we'll **** It". "Even more secure" (P.M) laugh! thought i’d never start.
