anotherusedpageI find it interesting that the BNP gained votes in the all postal ballot areas. I wonder if it's easier to admit to being a racist in the privacy of your own home.
Of course, it's the postal votes where anonymity isn't absolute, because although they're not SUPPOSED to open the vote envelope at the same time as the envelope with your signature on it, when it comes down to it there's actually nothing stopping them. So I don't quite understand why you'd feel safer voting BNP through a postal vote.
Also, voting for UKIP in the European elections seems to be something of a contradiction in terms.
Bloody glad that Red Ken (Or at least Still-reder-than-most-if-slightly-faded-to-pink Ken) kept the London Mayor. It irritated me that he was losing votes for selling out when he left the labour party, and then he lost votes again for selling out when he rejoined the damn thing.
