A Secret Ballot?
Two things struck me today when voting. The first is that you do not require any ID to vote, so could give the name of anyone in your constituency if you know their name and address.
More importantly, after you give your name, they look you up on a list of those entitled to vote, and against your name there is a number. That number (say, 729) is then written on the ballot paper - so the vote is compromised, as someone could go through the votes and find out how 729 - me- voted. Not a secret ballot!
