Trust in the system but not the party

OVER the last number of weeks, I have listened to and read the various arguments to and for bringing in a computerised electoral system.

Both sides' deliberations of the issue involved have merit and if it was being decided in another state, I think after I had listened to all angles, I would favour the automation of the voting system.

However, it is not as simple as that. A feeling of unease emanating from somewhere deep within urges me to think otherwise.
