In a report earlier this year, the Electoral Commission named Oldham West and Royton as one of the constituencies alleged to have a "greater risk" of voter fraud.

Quote:

A number of residents in the town - which, according to the 2011 census, has a relatively large population of people of Pakistani (10.1%) and Bangladeshi (7.3%) origin

With a turnout of just 40% that is a huge voting block.

One which everyone was expecting them to do badly in, so much so the headlines were already written and not only did they win they got a higher turnout, one of the things I like about corbyn is the way he's got these media mogul types squirming

Labour's total majority was lower this time around but the party ended up with a higher vote share as the turnout - just over 40% - was lower than at May's poll.

Actually, their majority decreased, from 14738 to 10722.

Their percentage majority (on a lower turnout) increased to 38.7% from 34.2%.

.......and they were probably voting for the labour candidate despite Corbyn, not because of him.

Or because someone 'told them to' like in Tower Hamlets...

It's not as if he would stand up in court in support of somebody who pleaded guilty in connection with murder, would he?:rolleyes:

MP Jeremy Corbyn made a heartfelt appeal in court on Monday on behalf of a man involved in a gang feud which left one dead and another with brain damage.
The youth, Yahya Salah, 21, was a friend of Mr Corbyn’s eldest son, Ben, from the time they both attended Acland Burghley School in Tufnell Park.
...
“They are not angels, I know,” he said, as Judge Peter Ader challenged the glowing character references that made the accused “sound like peace campaigners”.

Re: Corbyn supported fraudster's bail application

I was a long time labour voter until the last elections... They went down hill since Blair left so looked at the options and voted conservative.

Since then Corbyn got leadership and I can honestly say that it's now hit rock bottom. They have a leader who promised old labour (not my style) yet has based every decision not on the party's wishes but purely based on his own personal views.

So now count myself as a conservative and not a labour supporter and will do until at very least Corbyn is removed

Re: Corbyn supported fraudster's bail application

Personally l think we have four very poor leaders currently so basically its choosing one from a very bad bunch as none of them measure up to some of this country's leaders from yonder.

The thing is that Blair for me was the first labour government that I ever knew as we only came back into the country after Thatcher got into power so I never knew "Old" labour

You didn't miss much. Wilson told us that devaluing Sterling wouldn't affect the pound in our pockets and justified it by claiming we needed to break out of the straightjacket of boom and bust economics.

Now where have we heard words to that effect before?... :confused: :rolleyes:

My family emigrated to South Africa in the 70's because labour f*cked up the economy so badly.
