It’s more the double voting that puts me off 

Baz, there is no double voting....there was only, you can check at the Electoral Commission, it is utter tosh. I know what I would call it and it's not electoral fraud it's gerrymandering 

 

Key findings from cases of alleged electoral fraud in 2017

Headline figures from data on cases of alleged electoral fraud in 2017 are:

As of 31 January 2018, there has been one conviction which was in connection with an allegation of personation in polling stations.

Suspects in eight cases had accepted police cautions:

  • Four were in relation to registration offences
  • Two were personation when voting by post
  • One a false statement on a nomination form
  • One return of election expenses.
Outcomes of allegationsNumber

I don’t trust them either ....especially in cities

It’s more the double voting that puts me off

They are all the same ....

We'll do something when we get in. We'll make it a fair fight
