>> Postal voting should be banned. Its far too prone to fraud.
I don't think it should be banned, but it certainly should be much better controlled, perhaps with medical stickyfoots for those genuinely unable to get to a polling station.
Fraud has been proved in quite a few cases and is suspected in others.
One bedroom flats with 9 registered voters , it is alleged (!) are not completely unknown.
With polling stations being open from very early morning until 10pm, it is not unreasonable to expect the able-bodied to get there, even if working.
"Time off work for voting?", I hear you screech - well, most working stiffs can get time off for a routine dental appointment!
