postal voting is it a fix?

I shall be out of the country on the 10th June so have arranged for my friends and neighbours to be my proxy voters although I know that certain parts of the country are being subjected to postal voting. Postal voting can be rigged (although I am not saying this government would get away with anything like Mugabe has in Zimbabwe, however much they would like to) but at least with proxy voting you know that someone you know and trust has done your voting for you in the traditional way. That's if you have the option!!! Kathy x

i,m not saying the vote is fixed,but i am saying ,it would be so easy to do so ,a certain Robert Mugabee did just this two years ago in his country and i wouldn,t put it past labour to do the same.If the men in black come knocking at my door after this ,my wife will let you know.lol.Fred.

I'm glad that I'll be able to vote in the traditional booth.

to me the goverment are like spoilt children.they want it there way or no way.take for example the postal voting system they have had weeks to sort this out but just today they have informed the media that they haven't met this.it is totally impossible if these people don't get their voting papers by tomorrow that their vote will not reach the voting date of june the 8th.if this is the case i think they should put back the date until the problem has been resolved and all british citizens can vote.the final outcome will not be a true vote.i still think this was done deliberetly.the goverment want this to go through and sod the people who think otherwise the people they are supposed to be representing.what do you think?
