Not sure if this is the right forum but I thought this is a bit of a giggle - what planet is this guy on?

It will be if he's just an average punter. Obviously the entire Labour government can be picked up quite cheaply now. Legally of course. Just a loan you see guv?

who wants to bet Jack Straw will be the highest bidder?

[Somewhatfoolish]

Completely illegal... and anyway aren't there four thousand holes in blackburn, lancarshire elections?

Re: Illegal

Surely this depends how the deal is constructed?

How about:

• Offer the service of providing voting advice using your vote as an example
• Give advice on a postal vote by filling it in in their presence
• Accept payment for advice
• Tell your customer to post the vote as a practical test of what they have learnt

So it's completely legal for mp's to be cabs for hire lol. I don't see that Hoon bloke or the Moran bh facing criminal proceedings.
