Electoral Fraud: Warsi's bold assertion

The Conservative Chairman, Baroness Warsi, has said that electoral fraud, quote, "predominantly within the Asian community" was partly the reason for the Conservatives failing to win an outright majority at the General Election.

That, and Cast Iron Dave's surrender to the European Empire, eh Sayeeda? Oops, elephants in room time - mustn't upset the Conservatives by mentioning one of those.

Warsi's allegations concerning electoral fraud are featured in the New Statesman and reported by - at opposite ends of the political spectrum, the Daily Mail and the BBC.

The alleged electoral fraud is said to have been advantageous to New Labour - though the latter denies all knowledge and says that she should produce evidence to the appropriate authorities.

The Electoral Commission have said that the police would need to investigate.

This is not the first instance of alleged electoral fraud in which Asian communities and New Labour have been mentioned alongside each other.

Of course, it is much easier for Britain’s first female Muslim Cabinet minister to make these allegations public - a large number of us would be too scared to do so for fear of being accused of racism.

That said, Warsi is being true to her feisty and gutsy nature and her speaking out about alleged criminal activity regarding our democratic system is commendable.

But if she is that concerned about alleged criminal offences and British democracy, could we invite her to walk into a police station and report the crime of treason, committed by Ministers in successive British Governments from 1972 to date..?
