They are trying out postal voting in some regions of England on Thursday. I am totally against it. I agree it should be available as a special thing if for some reason you can;'t go and vote, but I reckon we should keep things as they are, otherwise.
    The secret ballot is something our ancestors fought for,long hard and courageously. The great care taken (in the present system) to try as hard as possible to preserve this secrecy is a GOOD THING. You go in that booth with your paper and pencil, and there are people there legally obliged to make sure nobody is watching you. And no they are proposing postal votes all round, where there are no safeguards whatsoever against intimidation.
    What does anyone else think?
