Free and fair?

Is this the most corrupt government we’ve had in living memory?
Probably, if the postal voting shambles is anything to go by.

The sad excuse we have for a Deputy Prime Minister, going by the name of John Prescott, has made it his pet project to increase postal voting, to such a degree that certain regions in todays European and local elections could only cast their vote by the postal ballot form sent to them.

Is anyone surprised at the news that Labour party members have been instructed to stand at traditional voting venues and collect the ballots of confused voters, that in Asian immigrant areas people are being told to hand over their ballot papers to ‘community elders’ to fill in, community elders who trade off their influence with their own people for influence with Tony’s cronies.

People in the UK, especially on the left, laughed at the last US Presdiential election, the stolen chads on the Florida ballot, it couldn’t happen here. Well the jokes going to be on us when the court cases start coming down.
And just listening to the smarmy bastard from Labour on Newsnight last night saying it was the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats moaning just because they weren’t getting the votes, would have alerted you that something stunk.

Politics isn’t so different in any part of the world. People are basically the same.

This reminds me of an article I read today in “The Oregonian” about the state council urging Oregonians not to buy drugs from Canada because they may be unsafe. Seems to me that if more and more people are buying their prescription drugs from Canada, perhaps there is a “reason” like the high, high cost of these drugs. To deem them unsafe is to ignore the issue, which is what the government is good at doing.

I don’t recall reading about a rash of Canadian seniors dropping dead after taking Canadian prescription drugs.

I wonder if, just perhaps, there are other motives for the warnings from the State Council.

Nah, Joe, I’m sure the State Council has only the best interests of the people at heart. :-) :-)
