Tony Blair had a bit of a problem with that last time with only 25% of the possible vote, but he had a big majority and plenty of bare-faced arrogance so he made the claim anyway. But suppose that this time the turnout falls from 59% to 40% and he gets only 35% of that (as current polls suggest)? That will mean that only 14% - about one seventh - of the total electorate have supported him and even he could not claim "a mandate from the people."</P></FONT><B><FONT face="MS Sans Serif" color=#0000ff size=2> <P>Last time, far more people refused to vote than voted Labour, this time we need more than half the people refusing to vote&nbsp;for the whole rotten political gang.</P></B></FONT><FONT face="MS Sans Serif" color=#ff0000 size=2></FONT><FONT face="MS Sans Serif" size=2> <P>I<B>n the above scenario, Tony Blair and Michael Howard and - what's 'is name? oh, yes - Charles Kennedy, would all be forced to resign.

Why did Blair hurry to get the postal voting rules changed after the last election? <FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">Precisely because he was so frightened to see that more people refused to vote at all than those that voted Labour (the first time that this had ever happened to a winning party).</FONT> He thought that if he made it much easier for people to vote - after all going to a polling booth near your home once every four or five years is such a hardship for people who actually believe there is anyone worth voting for - then more people would be sucked into the game. As it turns out, in local elections it hasn't made much, if any, difference. Of course, his party then realised that they could get a lot more votes - and all for Labour - by copying that hero of Zimbabwe, Mugabe, and stuffing the postal ballots with false papers.</P> <P>The day before Blair called the election a Judge who had investigated very thoroughly the voting frauds in Birmingham said that the new system was<B> </FONT><FONT face="MS Sans Serif" color=#ff0000 size=2>"an invitation to fraud." and "fit for a banana republic."</P></B></FONT><FONT face="MS Sans Serif" size=2> <P>It is a long-standing tenet of English law that people must be held to have intended the reasonably foreseeable results of their actions.
