Well it’s a small and coincidental world but my company’s election for works council members finished yesterday and as I am yet to receive a ballot paper I have some fellow feeling with http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/election_2010/england/8666457.stm

Mistakes organising a company ballot aren’t good but surely as a country we are capable of allowing our citizens (subjects?) a chance to use the vote they have?

It could all be done on line but would I trust it? The problem is computer cock-ups tend to be more major and anyway if it was a government IT scheme you can be sure that it would cost a fortune and wouldn’t be ready on time…
