Rejected petition Sack pro-remain Electoral Commissioners as they are supposed to be impartial
Rejected on
BREXIT bias among the Electoral Commission
It has emerged that almost half of the board breached the association’s impartiality rules.
The Commission led several inquiries into the official Leave campaign but never looked into alleged illicit collusion by pro-Remain campaign groups.
The Electoral Commission’s code of conduct clearly states that its members must “act at all times” to “uphold its impartiality”.
