New of that political arm of the EU in the UK known as the Liberal 'Democrats' (who are neither liberal nor democratic):

Two Liberal ‘Democrat’ councillors were convicted (after a three week trial) by Preston Crown Court on 19.10.2006 for rigging a local election. Manzur Hussain (fifty eight years old) and Mozaquir Ali (fourty four years old) used proxy votes to ensure the re-election of the latter. The court was told that 160 electors were denied a vote in the June 2004 elections because of the scam. Hussain called on people at Daneshouse and Stoneyholme in Burnley to collect forms which Ali then filled in as if the real owners of the forms were on holiday on polling day. The forms were used to cast voters for the europhile Liberal Dims. Ali was re-elected by 369 votes. Both Ali and Hussain were arrested in October 2004. Sentencing will be on 23.11.2006.
