The Tory way of governance

There will be heavy fines, but I doubt that there will be anything more dramatic than that.
All the political parties overspent, but the Conservatives spent the most ( this time!) who knows what happened in the past.

Ana, are you not going to ask roses how she knows?

Haven't had a reply from you yet.

I'll ask the question. How do you know rose?

Do you not understand what 'I doubt' means?

"There will be heavy fines"; no doubt there.

I think it will end after the Tories have been taken to court over the election fraud. - no doubt there, either.

"I think" does not mean I know.

I expect it does to certain people...

Keep digging, Ana.

Digging what, durhamjen? I have no idea what you're getting at...

Oh, this is getting funny.
The usual suspects are simply having a pop, which they do on a regular basis.You know as well as I do ww that the Conservatives so far have been fined, and no doubt will be fined again, or do you really imagine that anyone will be doing jail time.
This childish questioning is just daft.

Lsbour was fined twenty thousand for over spending, no one jailed

Libs were fined twenty thousand fir over spending , no one jailed

The tories were recently fined £70,000 by the Electoral Commission, for 'significant failures in reporting campaign spending' (aka fiddling expenses?). In one account I read the Chair of the Electoral Commission said that that was the maximum they were allowed to fine anyone but she would have made it more had it been in her power to do so. Which makes it sound as though it's not just a case of a bit of poor accounting... This figure is more than three times the £20,000 respectively that Lab and Lib Dems were fined.

Of course, it goes without saying that the Electoral Commission fine has nothing to do with the police investigation.

Yes, that's already been discussed on here MaizieD if you care to scroll back to the 16th March.

Some people want a strange form of democracy, the one where those with the biggest pot of money win.

Oh, sorry. I'm not keeping up...

So the sum involved in this matters not the fact the three parties were guilty?

Not at all. The other big difference is that Labour and Libdems cooperated with the electoral commission.

Are you sure you are Labour, Annie?
2015 election expenses had nothing to do with Corbyn, so you don't have to attack Labour about that.

Yes I am sure Jen, but this doesn't mean one cannot or should not be honest , well not for me

So perhaps your posts should attack the dishonest Tories, who had to be taken to court to get them to hand over information to the electoral commission.
As a lifelong Labour supporter, you should be holding them to account. Or does that not matter to you any more?

Jen, do not tell me what I should or should not be doing as a lifelong labour supporter , you are too full of self importance, take care you could burst

The sums involved certainly indicate the degree of guilt of each party.

Interestingly, Maizie, the Labour and Libdem amounts were the maximum they could be fined at the time.
The maximum was obviously raised in between the Libdem fine and now.
If the Tories had been honest and handed over their paperwork when first asked, they would only have been fined £20,000. Obviously they had a lot more to hide.
