Postal voting

WITH reference to the recent local elections, was it really necessary to send postal voting papers by first class post - and to include a first class pre-paid envelope for their reply?

Surely second class postage would have sufficed, especially as these were sent out well in advance of the day. This is a disgraceful waste of money and I also maintain that postal voting should be restricted to those who genuinely need it, and not just to every Tom, Dick and Harry in a desperate attempt to get their vote.

New Labour has a liking for postal voting even though many of those who have been caught taking part in fraudulent activities are supporter of the Labour Party.
