This sounds a pretty strong team, although I would have preferred to see Ben Habib on Immigration and Ann Widdicombe on Brexit & The Union

[GrannyMac]

I really hope they can win some seats!

[Ashy]

I'll vote for them if they put up a candidate, we can't carry on as we have been.

[klondike]

There are supposed to be candidates in every seat. 

If they look it bit scruffy it'll be because they've been debanked.  Remember the old slur about voting for a donkey with a red rosette? I'll vote for anything that doesn't sport a red, blue, green, or yellow one.

I'll vote for them.

[Diasi]

They'll have my vote as I'm a paid member & also bung them 5 quid a month (well I am a pensioner ).

If I agree to vote for them, can you send me 5 quid a month too?

The Representation of the People Act 1983 is the primary piece of legislation & it's an offence to influence voting which covers paying a person to vote a certain or asking for payment to vote a certain way.

You don't get 5 quid a month of my money that easily.

Lol.   

[dextrous63]

Ah well.  It was worth a punt 😬

Aha - dextrous- what's it worth for me to keep quiet? Don't forget I have the server logs.

[dextrous63]

Excellent.

Section 21 of the Theft Act 1968 defines an instance of blackmail as one where: "a person with a view to gain for themselves or another or intending to cause loss to another makes an unwarranted demand with menaces
