My voting habits haven't changed in more than 30 years: Add a box at
the bottom of the ballot paper, put an X in it, and add the text "None

paper, but that's not the point.

Privacy is something that UK politicians only pay lip service to, IMO.
Except when it applies to us knowing what they get up to. *Then*

using the account. Well, that's what I assume, at any rate. :-)
Personally, I'd choose to send all my email encrypted with PGP key.
Most people have no idea that emails are about as secure as a postcard.
Possibly less secure.
