Taking one part of http://www.ukconstitution.net/politics/issues/Elections.html the UK Elections are most assuredly not a secret ballot, though they appear secret.
To vote you have to attend a polling station (or use a postal vote, which is, here, subject to huge fraud).
When you visit the station a note is made against your polling number of the number of the ballot paper you take. That paper is thuis traceable back to you.
In theory it takes an Act of Parliament to allow the correlation to me made between INDIVIDUAL and VOTE CAST, but it is nonethless possible.
Assuming the nation ever voted itself into totalitarianism, or "democratic fascism" it woudl be possible easily to inspect voting history and current votes of the populace.
