There are a few pretenders to the throne and Baroness Emma Orczy added something of interest too in <br />"The Uncrowned King".

Say mine is AY102, this number is written on the counterfoil of your voting slip by the official before tearing off the bit you vote with. So voting paper number "rt4789" is issued to "AY102"! As you say they can sort out all the people who voted against the ruling party after the count and hey presto, they have you name and address from the voters list!<br /><br />This why I don't vote anymore. Secret ballot? Bah!<br /><br />Tony - Any mark on the paper other than the cross renders the paper null and void by law. So you automatically cancelled your vote by scribbling out the number! They've got you all ways.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14101663611609371990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5371210.post-22116535173114642292009-06-10T14:25:44.382+02:002009-06-10T14:25:44.382+02:00I remember when I voted once I noticed the number ...I remember when I voted once I noticed the number on top of the ballot so I scribbled it out.

Maybe they could organise the appearance of a magical sword in a stone. Or a magical bread knife in a stale brioche. Or something. That'd sort them out. Or not.<br /><br />*looks down* today's word is 'wammins', which sounds very Sword In The StoneDru Marlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03697874363783821382noreply@blogger.com
