Were people denied votes in the 2015 UK General Election?
I want them to investigate the failure of postal voters to receive their postal ballot papers or even be able to register for a postal vote. I am an ex- pat in Spain who did not receive my postal vote and I am increasingly hearing that people did not receive their postal vote either and so were denied a voice at the 2015 election. This may not just be ex-`pats, it may be UK postal voters too who were denied their democratic right.
Why is this important?
This is important because the UK is currently ruled by a Conservative government who are in power by the slimmest of margins. If all the people who were denied a postal vote had voted, would the outcome be different? Would the UK not now be suffering from the effects of austerity, the threat of fracking, the withdrawal of welfare and services to the needy and the tripling of the national debt? If the UK is a truly democratic country, I think this needs to be investigated.
