| Just a friendly reminder that George will be speaking in a debate on voting reform sometime on Monday. It'll probably be broadcast live on the BBC parliament channel.

I think he said he'll be speaking about vote rigging, with regards to postal votes in particular. I remember he took issue with the shambles of a vote in Tower Hamlets.
| Quote: | In a major speech in the debate called by the Tory opposition in the Commons tomorrow, George Galloway will accuse the government of a cynical subversion of the electoral system in order to increase their chances of winning general and local elections. Postal voting on demand has destroyed the secrecy of the ballot introduced in 1872 to stop corruption and allowed the easy theft of voters' ballot papers.
Galloway will indict Christine Gilbert, the former chief executive of Tower Hamlets council and wife of Labour Minister Tony McNulty, for presiding over the most corrupt elections on the British mainland since the secret ballot was established. For her services as Chief Executive of Tower Hamlets council, Gilbert has been rewarded by being made head of Ofsted. New Labour held on by just one seat to their control of Tower Hamlets council and Galloway will detail specific allegations of fraud which enabled them to do so. |
