And it's not as if the likes RBKC and Westminster (to name but two relatively adjacent Tory enclaves) have an exactly squeaky clean record regarding local gerrymandering.

In RaWZ we trust....Amen.
But why? What does anyone gain? It's one of Labours biggest heartlands and barring Galloway sneaking the win 15/20 years back it's safe to say it's not turning Conservative, or any other party anytime soon.
The voter fraud at Tower Hamlets was in the local Mayor elections.Involving a shyster who had his own political party.
The local Labour,Tory & Lib Dem partys infuriated by inaction by the Met Police & Electoral Commission(initially) took the case at great financial personal risk to court & won.
The Mayoral Election was declared void when fraud was proven by the Mayor for using his position in the Bangladeshi Community for his own ends at election time.

So a local Mayorial election? Not exactly the "Massive Fraud" then?

I had no idea about this! So this isn't the massive vote fraud that is made out to be? Simply a one off involving a party that isn't anywhere outside of East London?

its not the difficult to assume the same is happening in the GE
Any proof of this?

The case highlighted holes in the election process if a individual was particularly unscrupulous rather than systemic fraud.

A bigger issue imo is postal voting abuse rather than identity fraud at voting booths.

The same electoral register for general elections being used?

There's bugger all electoral fraud and the bulk of the accusations relate to postal and proxy voting, so voter id at the polling station is addressing a problem that isn't there.
