    Because a Postal vote is for those who are not able to vote in their own constituency (for a good reason) - Islanders are able to and do. Postal votes are the exception, not the rule.

      I was never fully happy with the integrity of the postal vote and the secrecy of the ballot.
      For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

        thing about the postal vote is what about if something comes out between the time you vote is cast and polling day

          Why? Some countries send out the postal ballot papers to everybody and have something like 30% postal vote. Enfranchise people. Make it as easy as possible to vote.

                Mary Lou has a touch of Mary Harney in her. Perhaps the rear ramp of the Casa may be of more use...

                            Paperwork for somebody...
                            'He died who loved to live,' they'll say,
                            'Unselfishly so we might have today!'
                            Like hell! He fought because he had to fight;
                            He died that's all. It was his unlucky night.

                              Pilot, crewman and maintenance staff will all probably get a grilling over this one
