Vote early, vote often...

Apparently today's big scandal is last night's Big Brother voting. Not that I watch it, I hasten to add!

But perhaps we should be more worried about The Daily Mail's "European Referendum". The Guardian took a group of experienced election monitors around the "polling stations"...

It was 10 to three on Wednesday afternoon. I was feeling giddy from exercising my democratic right to vote. I'd already voted 21 times in the Daily Mail's referendum, and it wasn't even polling day yet.

Elson said: "I think the phrase 'totally flawed' comes to mind."

I asked him if he had ever pronounced an election "totally flawed" before.

"Only one," he said. "The 2001 Kyrgyzstan presidential elections."
