Electoral Commission fine

The Electoral Commission have imposed their heaviest fine yet on the scumbag 'nasty party' - £70,000. A tiny drop in the ocean to the 'nasty party'!!!

Yes but the piddling size of the fine is just small change to the scumbag 'nasty party' - should have been a hundred times the size!!!

Re: Electoral Commission fine

Honest administrative error or deliberate intent to break the rules. Labour, Lib Dems and UKIP have been fined £20k.
Rerun of by-elections in the interest of democracy is being suggested.

Re: Electoral Commission fine

While we are talking about money spent inappropriately in elections lets not forget Ed's tablet of stone

Labour fined £20,000 for undeclared election spending including for Ed Stone

Re: Electoral Commission fine

There is a lot of waste in public services and political spending too. But while they don't see it as our money they are spending so freely it will always go on I guess.

I gather those responsible have been 'slung out' by the district auditor, but since this was relating to local Government, the Electoral commission is not involved, so they are unable to impose a fine.

Since we're talking local government, do you want to discuss Shirley Porter and her £38million (unpaid) fine???

Hell yes..burn her at the stake!
You know and I know that all politicians are corrupt, it's bloody genetic, so picking on one party is a tad juvenile.
