By hook or by crook...

It seems the SNP went looking for the voter records in Glenrothes...

By all accounts this is standard behaviour for a political party. They like to see who the active voters are, even though they cannot see how the person voted. It means less time chapping on the doors of those unlikely to vote, leaving candidates (of all colours) to choose from and target those who are most likely going to turn up at the polling station.

But guess what? The Court has 'lost' them!

There are two issues here, I suppose.

First of all, its a bit suspicious, don't you think? The SNP are also curious about the quadrupling of the postal votes compared to last time out. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/4408101.stm

Secondly, even if it is just one of those things it's a big neglectful to go losing such an important record of the democratic process?

Either way, it's not good.

So, do you think this is suspicious or just another case of lost date that happen from time to time?

Probably nothing untoward going on just another example of their incompetence.

It's a bit of a joke if you can lose the data on people who have voted.

Think of WTF will happen when these fkers push through ID cards.

Jeez, it's no wonder the SNP gets labelled with the 'politics of resentment' tag :rolleyes: :greengrin

Beyond ensuring at the time that those who voted were genuine what reason could there possibly be of retaining such info?
