Tory sleaze is back as David Cameron's Tories seek to punish further woman who lost Tory rigged election in Slough




















Dear All

At the end of the Tory Government run by John Major it was so steeped in sleaze, it ceased to function properly before it was defeated at the ballot box.

Tory sleaze and corruption are hallmarks of a Tory Party of the rich, for the rich by the rich.

Now, the Conservative Party is refusing to pay a £215,000 bill, the reason for which is one of its local election candidates rigged a poll using hundreds of fictitious voters.

Corruption!

The Tories have been to the High Court to challenge an attempt to make it pay the costs of the scandal.

Because of the actions of Tory Candidate Eshaq Khan, the Government introduced reforms to make it harder to steal elections.

The Tory candidate is now saying that he is penniless so the Tories are being asked to pay the defeated Labour candidate’s outstanding legal bill for exposing the fraud.

They are refusing to pay up, Khan was their candidate and their responsibility, and they should bare the costs, if anything it should be a lesson to them about ensuring that their members play by the rules.

Britain’s postal vote system is open to fraud and abuse, Election commissioner, Richard Mawrey, QC said Britain’s lax system of postal voting “would disgrace a banana republic”.

He is quite correct in his judgment.

In this matter the Tories are acting quite disgracefully, having robbed Lydia Simmons of her election; they now want to make her suffer the costs of being the aggrieved party.

Tories never change, quite happy to act in a gang to victimise an individual but unable to accept responsibility when they get caught.

Eshaq Khan was their candidate; they are responsible for his actions.

Finally, it is a bit rich that Tories talk about people talking responsibility for their own lives when they balk at accepting responsibility for their own.

Double standards and stinking hypocrisy will be the hallmark of a David Cameron Government!
