I cannot see any justification in withdrawing the franchise from the whole barrel simply because some of the apples are rotten. I do however support the idea that it should be a privilege to be earned. I also think that postal voting is clearly open to fraud and should be abandoned.

However, even though the Government has been aware of the frauds perpetrated in last year's elections they have declined the opportunity to disallow it for the coming General Election. Are they hoping that there will be a repeat performance perhaps?
