Rochdale by-election

Um no. They could discover who voted but not how they voted. Your name isn't on the ballot paper.

Your name isn't, but there is a unique serial number, and when you collect a ballot your name is written next to the number on the counterfoil, or the number is written next to your name on the list of names, so in theory they could check how people voted.

They apparently used to routinely do this for people voting Communist, for example.

I'm not suggesting that this will be done in this case so that the names of everyone voting for Galloway can be put on a list and passed on to Special Branch, but it is possible to do it..

The corresponding numbers list is sealed at the end of poll and taken to the count, it then needs a court order to open
 
Is it possible that Galloway’s vote was boosted by the ‘anyone but Labour’ crowd when it became apparent he was the strongest challenger to the ‘not labour’ candidate? There’s likely some value in it for Tories and far right cranks wanting to embarrass Starmer.

Galloway is and always will be a massive prick but no denying there's some pleasure to be had in watching him fuck with journalists,.



Galloway against that pimply trumpet from Sky News is like an international winger against a pub league full back. Embarrassing.

The pearl-clutching centrists & mainstream media just don’t get that the worst thing you can do to George is ignore him. Put up a puffed up newsbot in a suit against him for a whole seven minutes & George will break up the newsbot into small parts and sell them off for WPB funds.

"Jew hater ... victory for antisemitism speech ... 27,000 postal votes ... ballot stuffing ... people gone to prison because of it ... very clear what's gone on ... disease of Palestine Derangement Syndrome .... terrorist groups organizing the marches " It would be slander rather than libel though.

That woman is toxic. The stuff about it being the first election ever where religious affairs became central is bollocks because of the antisemitism accusations against Corbyn last time. She's said she doesn't know whether the accusations of intimidation in Rochdale are true but then assumes they all are to support her accusations of terrorism and the end of Democracy in Britain.

Not actually watched just read the transcript so not aware of who was speaking. But was first you tube that came up when googled Kevin Mcenzie Galloway and thought that would probably do it
