Tory leadership: How secure is the online vote?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/63344131

'Professor Steve Schneider, director of the Centre for Cyber Security at the University of Surrey was the editor of a report on internet voting in the UK that concluded the technology was not yet good enough to allow important elections to be held online.

"We don't allow online ballots for industrial action because of security concerns," he told BBC News. It seems to me that electing the next prime minister is even higher stakes."'

and

'BBC News pointed out that the approximately 1,600 members of Conservatives Abroad, who do not need to be British nationals or be allowed to vote in UK elections to join, are nonetheless allowed to vote in leadership elections.

During the last leadership election, one news organisation registered foreign nationals, a person who did not exist and a pet tortoise as members of the Conservative Party.'


I guess in a way it doesn't matter too much if the Russians, the tortoises and the other prehistoric reptiles are more than likely(?) to vote for Benny Bullfrog anyway if he gets his 100 MP votes. Key thing is for him not to get as far as the members' vote.

If Russia can permeate it, they'll surely want Boris?

If Johnson doesn't get the 100 MPs, the dodgy membership vote won't get the chance to put him in.

Good Lord! Whatever is it?

Quite the opposite I'd have thought. Johnson was very firm on the invasion of Ukraine whereas as Sunak was said to have been more lukewarm, concerned about the effect to the economy.

I knew you'd pipe up, there's three things you miss

1) Brexit which Putin certainly would have supported
2) Boris' highly questionable links to Russia, I'm amazed he has got such an easy ride in the media on this

3) And this will be the most complicated point to understand, if Boris is as tough as you like to think

Having a clear enemy is actually something Putin wants. It's easier for the story he likes to tell. It's easier to oppress your people if there's someone scarier out there.

So yes, Russia if they were effecting this election would 100% choose Boris

Phil needs to squash the rumours that since the installation of the Osborne 2.0 the old Osborne 1.0 was sold to the Tories.
The Osborne 1.0 could easily handle the 400,000 membership of the Tories having previously maintained the million+ users of TWTD.

On 1.0, banned members could get round security by simply creating a new username so the UKs future is at stake.
I'm sure that doesn't happen under the new and improved megatron Osborne 2.0.

Don't believe a word I say. I'm only kidding. Or am I?

I've got thirty-four foreign identities registered as tory party members, and have offered those thirty-four votes to boris in exchange for a large sum of money. I've also told him I reckon I can get a couple of thousand more names registered in time to vote.

Any complaints to those nasty tory subverters of democracy to who signed up to Labour to make sure Mr Corbyn was elected.
