UK ELECTIONS NOT "FREE AND FAIR"

22 01 08 - 15:22 Voting open to 'childishly simple' fraud, says watchdog

Reforms to the postal voting rules introduced by Labour have made electoral fraud in Britain "childishly simple", a European human rights watchdog said today.

The Council of Europe claimed the British voting system was now open to fraud and the system "makes it extremely easy to add bogus characters to the voters' lists".

The council said steps taken to tighten up the system after a postal voting scandal in Birmingham in 2004 had failed to close the serious loopholes.

Britain is like a banana republic.

"To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow; a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."

From William Shakespeare's "Macbeth"
