* A personal message to Paul Nutall MEP (UKIP, North Western England): Your accusations against the postal voting system in the United Kingdom would bear investigating, if it were not for the fact that in the 2014 European Elections (an election where in the North Western England electoral region you polled 27% of the vote, up from the 16% you polled in 2009) 17.5% of all votes counted on the night were postal votes (second only to the North Eastern England electoral region where you also won an MEP). Either you accept that all postal votes are valid or that no postal votes are valid, you cannot have it both ways!
