Slough Respect has sent a letter to the police requesting 'an immediate and formal police investigation into possible voting rigging and what we believe to be, gross abuses of the postal vote system.'

Slough Respect has sent a letter to the police requesting 'an immediate and formal police investigation into possible voting rigging and what we believe to be, gross abuses of the postal vote system.'

Standing in Baylis and Stoke with the Candidate Ghazi Khan, Respect has found that candidates from other parties appear to be abusing the postal vote system, which can only lead to a rigged final election result.

George Galloway, Respect MP for Bethnal Green and Bow says, "the postal voting system has been proven wide-open to abuse. The Electoral Commission and the local returning officer should call a halt to this corruptible system now."

Ghazi Khan, Candidate for Baylis and Stoke has said, "it's not enough for the three parties to sell peerages to their big money backers, but they are now also displaying such an utter contempt for democracy itself."
