Thanks to Labour's ballot-rigging, he hardly needs anyone's votes.

Wow, it's like having our very own automatic Daily Mail Talking Point-
bot.

So Mr.Band it appears that you are in favour of vote rigging? Perhaps you
would like this country to descend to the level of Zimbabwe?

So Mr Whitson, when did you stop beating your wife?

I'm not sure about postal votes: they encourage voting based on
exisiting prejudices (since you vote early in the campaign); and there
are valid concerns about intimidation by heads-of-household among
certain minority groups.

However, there's no evidence at all that they're associated with
widespread fraud (nor does the Rowntree report as highlighted in the
Times piece suggest that there is any such evidence). To the extent
that there is any electoral fraud in the UK - pretty much entirely on
a 'crooked local councillor' basis - this is split between the parties
rather than being ZaNu Liebour Corruption.
