Rejected petition Debate impact of Electoral Fraud on the current government and public confidence
Revelations of Electoral Fraud are having a damning effect on the current Government and it's ability to operate in the best interests of the country. Irrespective of any criminal proceedings this needs to be debated and a new General Election called to restore confidence in our political system
More details
29 Parliamentary Constituencies could be affected by Election Expenses Fraud with evidence already suggesting overspend on a massive scale.
Even if all these seats were re-run, confidence in the current electoral system has been devastated because this is being linked directly to members of the Prime Minister's own staff.
The Electoral Commission has levied a record-breaking fine but this in no way restores confidence in our political system.
