Kerry McCarthy is the Labour Party Candidate for Bristol East. She is a trained lawyer, and a former parliamentary whip in the 2005 - 2010 Labour government (currently inactive pending next week's general election).
On 29th April 2010, one week before the election, she leaked information on Twitter related to Postal Votes. She claimed that she saw this information as being "akin to canvass returns".
Quite simply someone with her background and experience should not be able to hide behind such weak excuses.
More information on her behaviour:

She is currently under investigation by the Bristol Returning Officer and the Avon & Somerset police following complaints.
We the undersigned call on Gordon Brown, in his capacity as Leader of the Labour Party, to immediately sack Kerry McCarthy and remove her as a candidate from the Bristol East constituency.
