European elections - Is it REALLY a secret ballot?

oddly enough was round at a mates election night 2001.There was a knock at the door and a Labour activist asked my mates wife if she had voted yet this year and would she be voting Labour again.
She was most shocked to find out he knew how she voted last time but not half as shocked as my Tory mate,(choking on his dinner) who considered it worthy of an act of divorce.

Always surprising how many people are shocked to find this out pasta, I couldn't give a flying **** who knows.

If anyone is interested, there were Council elections in Hastings today. In most wards, UKIP didn't even bother to put up a candidate. So much for their claim to be a serious political party.

Pretty sure Hastings is the once place everyone knew UKIP had at least one candidate standing for council in, given that the leaking of porn photos of one such, bearing neo-Nazi tattoos while his mate snorts powder off a hooker's arse, have been amongst the highlights of the national UKIP campaign...

Some of us are old enough to have voted in the days when only the names of candidates were printed on the ballot papers - with no mention of the political party that they were representing.

Unfortunately that would end up with democracy operating in the informed manner that the tote at the dog track does on Mother's Day.
