If it is just a matter of a few hundred pounds, then people like Stewart Mc or any political party should stump-up the cash. I will email LCC to get more detailed information. Is there a time limit to challenge the election? Nigel Most of us seem to be saying that he does not qualify to be a candidate.

(Any four electors or another candidate can do it). However, it doesn't stop some of us making a fuss along the way. Ultimately bad press doesn't do their cause any good whatsoever and by turning a blind eye to it the other MBIs are likely to lose my respect.

Imagine being told by the Police they wanted £50 to investigate your car being stolen. I have sent an email to the electoral commission and I will pursue this wrong doing. Robert Finnigan was unwilling/unable to give the information required to clear this up. Nigel I find it incomprehensible that a person would have to pay £400 to investigate a crime.
