Indeed. Police are investigating five cases of electoral fraud . Three with postal voting , one bribery and corruption and lastly voter behaviour. Apparently people were taking photos of their ballot papers . Probably wanting it as proof of voting so they could get paid .

No I was referring to the old socialists on this board who quite conveniently ignored it, not moaning at the op of this thread!

Plenty of people photographed their ballot slips during the EU elections to post on social media. Could be that too.

Hardly proof though. There was about the same number in 2017 (albeit with a higher turnout) and Labour pitched at the postal voter.

Depends whose in charge of the postal votes. Some get counted whilst others disappear up in smoke.

It’s all speculation of course. The investigation will show nothing, any dodgy dealers will be too good at covering their tracks.

Could it be true? Of course. But innocent until proven guilty is how it works.

Quite. But that's the opposite of your post, which clearly implied predetermined guilt.

You clearly have never gotten my provocative Style (or lack of) posting. Which often is intended to promote dialogue. Devils advocate stuff.
