Amusingly the number of "postal voters" has dropped dramatically. I've only heard of one councillor getting jailed for the previous high though. He was Labour party as if you couldn't guess.

This very issue was being discussed on Radio 4 this morning. The presenters were talking to a professor or something of political science at some ivory tower university and it seems that a court chalenge might be more difficult to win than thought.

The issue of so many thousand ballot papers being invalid seems to be one of administrative incompetence as opposed to direct or indirect fraud. The latter needs to be proved for a judge to declare the election invalid under the Representation of the People Act.

I'll be watching this one with interest.

Words beggar belief....

Out of interest, could the forum posters who voted Labour please add your names to this list, so I can put you on ignore and make a record that you approved of the following :

1) War in Iraq
2) Loans for Peerages
3) NHS Metldown
4) Police State UK

"But Geek.....I didn't approve of those things,, but but but"

Well, why did you vote for them then ? Muppet...

Labour may challenge Scots vote

The Labour party may take legal action over the Scottish parliament election results, because up to 100,000 ballot papers were counted as spoiled across Scotland in the election.

Former minister Allan Wilson, who narrowly lost in Cunninghame North, is discussing the possibility of a court challenge with Labour party solicitors.

Feckin priceless! They can't run a piss-up in a brewery, and now they want to sue themselves because of it?
