There may be another general election soon. Could you identify electoral fraud?
I saw this video from Crimestoppers on Twitter and – with another general election likely – it seems well worth sharing.

The part about intimidation is especially pertinent, even today. I live in a part of the world where it has been suggested that many people are bullied into voting a particular way by their landlords. I’m not saying it’s true – but if anybody undergoes such threatening behaviour, or witnesses it, the law requires that you report it to the police.

Wasn’t there an employer in Watford circulating veiled threats to his employees, telling them that Labour voters would be the first to be laid off in the event of a recession under a Labour Government? When he and the message received nationwide publicity the individual concerned tried to pass his message off as a “bantering joke”. Having read the full e-mail there was nothing humorous or jokey about it, it was clearly a thinly veiled threat to this man’s employees. That should have been investigated.
I heard that employees of a local business were ‘instructed’ how to vote by the boss. Of course nothing suggests they followed the instructions but I could imagine some did.
There are still many, many people who just don’t ‘get’ how voting *actually* affects them. Political education is still required IMHO.
Is there any actual evidence that any of the has taken place?
This is a preventative piece. There’s no implication that it has in any specific instance.
Question:Is it election fraud for the candidate in question to stand outside the polling booth taking the numbers of the public?.That’s because my MP Paul Maynard did exactly that on the 8th.
No.
