The irony of it all,       New Labour introduced electoral reform to n Ireland
to prevent people stealing votes. Now a Judge in Birmingham has demanded n Ireland-style electroral reforms to stop New Labour stealing votes.

Richard Mawrey QC, currently presiding over a high court case into postal ballot fraud during the 2003 local elections, says irregularities
could be "virtually wiped out" if n Ireland`s voter registration system
was extended to Britain.

His remarks came after the prosecution accused New Labour councillors of identity theft "on an industrial scale".
