I’m not sure why people are trying to paint respected independent organisation which is accredited by the Electoral Commission as official observers, and a group who observe elections across the continent, as being part of some sort of Trump like smear campaign.

They have published their concerns and these concerns should be looked into.


I'm certainly not trying to do that. Ault has had a distinguished career in electoral reform and vote observation.

I'm simply questioning how they arrived at one particular number (tho that is a relatively minor point) and then, particularly, the assumptions that have been built upon the raw numbers by the press and some political parties. Especially the idea that this is some kind of proof that the election has been stolen from one side or the other.

Good Lord! Whatever is it?

People who want justice and equality are 'the problem in this Country'?


That's exactly what I want. The Left want to destroy the middle class in this Country so they don't align with my views.

I don’t see how they can stop anything like that. Surely there are millions of households across the UK where people are discussing who they plan to vote for? We’re quite open in ours, but obviously nobody’s coerced. Or are people unconsciously influenced? We’ve all known people who are staunch X voters because their parents were. Just growing up in a politically engaged household could result in shaping of behaviour.

Even in case where there’s intimidation used to coerce people, couldn’t that just happen outside of the polling station environment. That can happen in the home and in community spaces. I don’t see how you can police it.


There was precedent for voter intimidation in the Tower Hamlets case wasn’t there, but I think they were only able to police it after the fact (for clarity not implying anything similar here, just responding to your question).

You live in an echo chamber and you are the problem in this Country. I follow for example, Owen Jones and Richard Burgon on Twitter, whose views are completely opposite to mine but I do because I want to have an informed view. The left leaning people on here are terrible in their vitriol against anyone with an opposite political view.


Echo chamber is one of those phrases used by some to try and put down views which they do not hold themselves. It’s a way to disparage people and at the same time ‘big up’ themselves by allowing them to state that they apparently follow a wide spectrum of people. It’s is of course, nonsense.

On the forum there are many right-leaning posters who are active on here and are more than happy to put across their own views. If this place was indeed an echo chamber those posted should not be on here.

If I may be like Patrick Bamford and do further diving into this, over the past year there have been various posters defending far-right courses. The match organised by Tommy Robinson was defended by many on here claiming that those attending were not racist. Roundabout painting, shouting at hotels, sellotaping flags to lampposts have also been defended by a few. I am being somewhat condescending towards those views but they have been defended by posters.

This forum is not an echo chamber - that phrase like ‘entitled’ is a tad childish and silly.

Would have thought postal voting had more potential for wrongdoings, especially in multi generational households.

Not trying to discredit DV, just pointing out the insignificance of the numbers in terms of the result, the fact that it always goes on, the insinuation that all noted cases must have been in favour of the left wing, and above all the extremely concerning parallels with Tr*mp's playbook of trying to discredit the outcomes of free and fair elections.

They're actually partly funded by the Joseph Rowntree Reform Trust, a very old and distinguished organisation, if anything on the liberal side in its Quaker roots.

it doesn't alter the result. but it's a serious lesson that returning officers need to focus on for future elections. free and fair elections don't include coerced voting which is the implication here.

And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show

It is a worthy topic to discuss. If nothing else because it will be (and has been) picked up and turned into a weapon to attack the integrity of the entire process and the specific outcome of this vote.

Think the problem was people took your headline at face value as being wholeheartedly supportive of Farage's position.

The title of your OP wasn’t clear, maybe that is the issue….

If the title was, Haha sour grapes and creating division from Farage as usual vs Farage rightly fummin, then your intent would be more clear, but just parroting what Farage said….non-obvious what you are trying to make the board aware off.
