From my The First post Sunday Paper Digest:

A member of the Labour group on Leeds city council has been caught on tape discussing plans to commit electoral fraud in next week’s local elections. Leader Keith Wakefield instructed canvassers to help elderly voters to complete postal ballots and offer to post them, but then destroy those that were for other parties. (Sunday Times)

If this is true than the man is scum and deserves to get banged up and barred from public life for the next twenty years.

This is really going to give them an election boost on Thursday…NOT!

Funny how he didn’t mention it as a tactic in Winning the battle for ideas in Leeds: Keith Wakefield writes on the upcoming local elections.

UPDATE: The actual story isn’t as simple as the headline suggests, but still very bad. You can see it at Times Online Here and commented on here.
