Major abuse of one-man, one-vote system
Next, wanting to make it easier for those supporters who could not even be bothered to go to the polling station, they extended postal voting to all and sundry. As we have seen, this has resulted in major abuses of our one man-one vote system.
A recent report does little to rectify the situation. Having a policeperson in the polling station will have little effect as people coming in in different guises to vote more than once are not the big issue. It is postal voting that is the problem and until it reverts back to what it was originally, i.e, only for those who have a legitimate reason for not being able to get to the polling station, the abuses will continue.
