As Boris Putin cheats his way back to the presidency in Russia and new rules ostensibly designed to check voting fraud in the USA actually denies minorities the vote, similar moves ar afoot in Britain. There are already over 6 million people in Britain who are eligible for the vote but are unregistered and now Tory plans to "overhaul" the voting registration system look set to increase the ranks of the disenfranchised. We asked a leading Tory for the party's view; "We have recently discovered that voting doesn't always bring us the result we want so we've decided to ammend it to cut out anyone who doesn't vote Tory. The coalition is a prime example of what failing to vote Tory means. If it wasn't for the bloody LibDems we would have been able to really tear into the working scum of this country. As it is we have to explain what we're doing to a bunch of namby-pamby bleeding-heart liberals. We only got away with sabotaging Europe by lying to the LIbDems before and the public after we'd done it. Democracy should be reserved for those best placed to understand it - the rich, those without consciences and the truly selfish. It's the old hemlock for anyone else as far as I'm concerned."
