Tankus Posted May 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 The mother of all democracies is showing signs of dementia Elections marred by vote problems BBC Thousands of ballot papers have been spoilt, officials said Scotland's parliamentary elections have been hit by major problems with many counts suspended and an unprecedented number of spoilt ballots recorded. There are fears the national figure for spoilt ballots could exceed 100,000.In some places in Scotland the spoilt ballots are greater in number than that of the actual winner Deliberate protest ? overcomplicated voting system ? or have fried mars bars caused a signifigant drop in IQ ooop north Perhaps if your too stupid to understand the instructions ,is it better that your vote doesnt count ...? In Taffy land ..Rhodri Morgan is now frantically burning the phone lines attempting to assemble a coalition in the Assembly .... as labour have lost its working majority the conservatives may now be considered a party for the English Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catgate Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 There was a time, before everything was "improved" by expert consutants, when this sort of thing would not have occured. Scotland looks like becoming a Third World Porridge Republic and England, which is halfway there already, will follow shortly.I was struck by an odd thought yesterday.If a Leader is elected to do "the will of the people" how can he claim that what he has done is hislegacy? Surely it is the legacy of the people, whose "will" he has carried out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andsome Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 Got his just deserts didn't he? The only problem is that no one in the party who has any chance of succeeding him, has the courage to stand for election, so we look like being landed with Brown. This will almost certainly prove to be a case of 'out of the frying pan, and into the fire'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyWhirly Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 Got his just deserts didn't he?Yes he did and I think that Labour's poll results would have been worse if it wasn't common knowledge that Blair has already decided to step down as otherwise the anti-blair vote would have been bigger (in my opinion) leading to an even worse electoral performance for Labour.so we look like being landed with Brown.He's just as bad in my book with his stealth taxation policies.

CurlyWhirly Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 Deliberate protest ? overcomplicated voting system ?I would guess that it's a mixture of both but in what proportions no one will ever know Perhaps if your too stupid to understand the instructions ,is it better that your vote doesnt count ...? :D the conservatives may now be considered a party for the EnglishYes as Labour have to do deals with the other parties in order to run the Welsh assembly and Scottish parliament which will probably 'dilute' their own policies as there are bound to be differing points of view from the opposing parties!

catgate Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 I saw an interesting news item on line this morning about the poll pukcoc (that will fool the censor). It appears that Lord Kinnock was appointed to the board of the company that has made such a memorable mark on the Scottish electoral process. It was after this master stroke of board selection that the company got the job of providing this latest example of our governments total ineptitude regarding refreshments and breweries.http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article...asco/article.do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
