Electoral Fraud

In recent years, we have suffered in Britain a succession of electoral fraud scandals – something we never thought we would see in country like ours.

In one case in Birmingham, the judge in the subsequent trial said that what had happened would ‘disgrace a banana republic’.

The Electoral Commission has now identified a number of high risk areas, which are especially prone to electoral fraud. It said that fraud included that in vulnerable Asian communities but should not be seen as by any means exclusive to them.

The following 16 local authority areas (out of just over 400 across the UK as a whole) are those where there appears to be a greater risk of cases of alleged electoral fraud being reported:

* Birmingham

* Blackburn with Darwen

* Bradford

* Burnley

* Calderdale

* Coventry

* Derby

* Hyndburn

* Kirklees

* Oldham

* Pendle

* Peterborough

* Slough

* Tower Hamlets

* Walsall

* Woking

The Electoral Commission considered banning postal voting in these areas but decided against it.  The Commission is also proposing that voters should be required to produce photo ID at polling stations – starting in 2019! The main area where fraud takes place is in any case postal voting.

It’s all too little too late and it’s difficult to avoid the conclusion that the Commission lacks vigour in doing anything effective.

Further analysis and comment would appear to be superfluous, save to observe that these are areas that have been ‘enriched’ by the demographic policies of successive Lab/Con governments, unopposed by the Lib-Dem/Ukip parties.

More generally, societal values are not determined by geographic location.

Societal values are, in reality, group values. When the make up of the group changes or if the group is replaced by another group, then the value system alters to reflect the general make-up of the new group. Electoral fraud is a factor in many parts of the world but was never a factor of significance in the UK until recent decades.

As the demographic policies of successive governments have taken effect, community cohesion has disintegrated in many parts of the UK, with common values and mutual trust, community involvement, civic engagement and neighbourliness all fragmenting. Simultaneously, criminality has risen, with certain types of crime, which were almost unknown before 1948, becoming common phenomena – in particular muggings.

Returning to the general issue of voting, many members of the public do not appreciate that those who qualify to vote in UK General Elections must be either British citizens, or Commonwealth citizens or citizens of the Irish Republic who are resident in the UK.

Why are the latter two categories permitted to vote in the UK?

This facility is clearly designed to impair the election of patriotic MPs and it was no doubt a product of liberal handwringers, to curry favour with the governments of the countries concerned.

  1. (Party Member) The growth of the previously unknown phenomena of electoral fraud can be traced right back to the early days of immigration. The first mass frauds were in the mid 1970’s in parts of Birmingham and Bradford. A blind eye was turned to this by Labour controlled areas as they were receiving the votes. Amazingly the Conservatives, who suffered the effects the most, kept quiet for fear of accusations of that made up word ‘racism’. Basically we have a quaint, low-tech system of voting which embodies the British character of fair play. This has been undermined.

    • There were some credible indications at the last general election that the Tories would have won a few more marginal seats from Labour if it hadn’t been for the fact that some of those constituencies had instances of electoral fraud. Baroness Warsi even said something to this effect. We all know what the reaction would have been if a white Tory had said so!

  2. ‘Muggings’. I am old enough to remember when robbery with violence was called just that, and carried a full 10 year sentence.

    The adoption of the word ‘muggings’ somehow psychologically infers that it is not so severe to be mugged, rather than robbed and beaten up. It also seems to carry a less severe sentence.

    It also seemed to coincide with the large numbers of people of foreign origin coming to our shores.

    As democracy is not intrinsic to many countries it’s hardly surprising that, in the name of diversity, they would try to bend the rules a little. What surprises me though is why they bother as the establishment is already falling over itself to appease.

  4. Here are some of the anomalies seen when using the commercial electoral register.
    1. Far to many names listed in one small property.
    2. Identical names occurring over and over in terraced properties in the same street.
    3 The use of the honorific name ‘Mohammed’ as a surname, as if the person does not have a proper family surname. (Which they do).
    4 The use to the name ‘Begum’ which basically means ‘Mrs’ as a surname.
    5 The use of the name ‘Bibi’ which means Miss as a surname.
    6 Apparently, reversing surnames and first names about to create dual identities.

    There are more, but that is enough. The thing is that when a little terrace house has twenty names listed therein, the authorities should automatically ask questions but they never do, Maybe Nationalists could learn a thing or two here.
    I suggest that the UK could adopt a painless and Third World method of stopping electoral fraud, which is that of marking the hands of voters with an indelible ink stamp at time of franchise.
    It works well in the Third World so it seems just designed for the UK.
    Oh what fun to see Conservative grandees stamped on the hand with a purple dye stamp like they do in India or Zimbabwe.
    Of course it could not stamp out postal vote abuse, but we have to start somewhere.

  5. It’s obvious to anyone that electoral fraud is acceptable in the fight to keep in office those of a non-nationalist nature. And the Electoral Commission system despite bringing a few prosecutions is a machine in helping this state of affairs.

  6. This savage article about the Lib Dems by Quentin Letts just about sums up how rotten the big parties are.

  7. (Party Member) Several Political Parties expressed varying concerns regarding how the count at this weeks Manchester by-election was conducted. They would not do this lightly. The whole process needs looking at, including sentences. The Postal Voting system in particular seems to be Misused.
