THE
ballot amongst
Tory
members about who should become the next leader of the party
descended into farce today when it came to light that many members
had been sent
two ballot papers. This mode of running elections is known as ‘The
Rana Strategy’
after
Rochdale
councillor Faisal
Rana
(a.k.a. ‘Two Votes’)
who in the 2018 local government fraudulently applied for and used
two votes.
There
is however one noticeable difference between how the Tories and
Rochdale’s Labour leadership have handled this matter. For the
Tories a shamefaced Iain
Duncan Smith
admitted what had happened and party members
have been warned that anyone who votes twice will be
summarily ejected from the party. In
Rochdale the leader just about managed to express his
‘disappointment’
in Rana and did not ask for his immediate resignation.
Oh the shame of it! Labour gets
a lesson in decency from the Tories.
