Remember reading about the Scottish indy ref shenanigans. There were police reports of boxes being swapped in remote car parks etc. So this doesn’t surprise me. What about you?

Stands in stark contrast to J.Corbyn’s result that’s for sure. I hope there is an investigation but wouldn’t place much faith in it.
Democracy in action hey? Where is the ‘chain of custody’ of ballot boxes? Who overseas the transport of these from polling station to count location? When the results were announced I couldn’t believe Bridgen lost.
The whole things stands in stark contrast to one of the elections (can’t remember where, but is was in one of those awful places like Russia or Venezuela) that I saw recently. The ballot boxes were clear Perspex, and the count was made at each polling station with both local and international observers. Of course that way one can’t fiddle the books, but that wouldn’t then be democratic would it?
