The South West Battlebus had been hard at work in the area providing activists to constituencies to knock on doors and hand out leaflets.
The prospective Prime Minister met up with the bus full of activists, You can see his own bus in the background, and at least one of them filmed it and threw it up on Social Media. Here's a copy (I haven't linked to the original social media post, don't want a group of fools piling on to the individual who posted this)
Note the places Cameron talks about having visited, these are not places that we are interested in. The Cameron Battlebus is something that is rightly part of national expenses. The locations at the end however where this bus is going are interesting, this is campaigning for local candidates so should rightly be declared by them. If the expenses undeclared are added on and that takes the candidate over their limit then according to Election Law this is an "illegal practice" and could result in the Sitting MP being barred from holding public office.
More to come soon
This is my constituency.
ReplyDeleteCornwall needs Tory poverty like a hole in the head.
If this has not been properly declared and they not only spent 20 time more than other candidates, after changing the law to allow it, but they also did not properly declare this, then we are allowing democracy to be bought by the richest party not fought in a free and fair election.
This is nauseating and the worst result for Cornwall, where inequality and poverty is so severe we are the poorest place with the lowest salaries in the country.
Honesty and free choice not millionaire funded, dishonest and negative campaigning that maligns the working poor,rather than the inequality that creates their poverty.
If this was fraudulent, I hope they don't wriggle out of it.
