A promising candidate for the Tower Hamlets Award for incompetent electoral administration here.

A promising candidate for the Tower Hamlets Award for incompetent electoral administration here. The problem here is not the electoral administration itself. The problem here is the legal advice that allowed the by-election to go ahead. If this was just an isolated problem that would be one thing, but it's not. Today's polls in Wigan and Allerdale are the also result of some very dubious decisions by the council's legal teams over councillor eligibility. Either this plus the handling of the Mack case is coincidence or there's a wider problem here. |
