***** Postal strike ‘may skew results in marginal constituencies’ *****


Jill Sherman

Election officials have warned ministers that a postal strike could skew the election results in marginal seats if a poll is held next month.

Returning officers told The Times that they are seeking urgent talks with the Ministry of Justice and the Royal Mail to discuss the impact of any extended postal strike, which would hit postal votes and the electoral register.

Returning officers fear that the two 48-hour strikes planned for this weekend and early next week might be extended if Gordon Brown calls an election soon.

David Monks, spokesman for the Society of Local Authority Chief Executives, said yesterday that after legal consultation it had been decided that if there was a strike there would be no change to the election officers’ existing policy of not counting postal votes that arrive after 10pm on polling day.

He added: “The unions are bound to threaten industrial action near the end of October to cause maximum damage. I am very concerned that we will be forced to reject votes that arrive late, which could affect results in marginal constitituencies.â€

Monks should take a vow of silence.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

We could have had an election on competence ... but what I want to do is show people the vision we have for the future
Gordon Brown
Prime Minister

Does that vision include a non privatised R/Mail, pray tell us Mr Brown. You like R/Mail management say you listen, like them you DO NOT! WE WILL HAVE YOU OUT.
