Just read this... Absolutely disgusted...

The Conservative party allegedly operated a secret call centre during the election campaign that may have broken data protection and election laws, according to an investigation by Channel 4 News.

An undercover investigation by the programme has found that the party used a market research firm to make thousands of cold calls to voters in marginal seats in the weeks before the election

Further down it reads...

Operating from a script, the staff carried out calls for “market research” and “polling”. Identifying likely Tory voters in marginal seats could be important for the get-out-the-vote operation on election day, and also enable a political party to better direct its canvassing operation.

On election day, undecided voters were told that “the election result in your marginal constituency is going to be very close between Theresa May’s Conservatives and Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour party”.

They were then asked: “So does knowing that you live in a marginal constituency that will determine who is prime minister for the Brexit negotiations, does that make you a lot more likely to vote for Theresa May’s Conservative candidate or a little more likely to vote for Theresa May’s Conservative candidate, or are you still unsure, or does it not make a difference?”

It'll be interesting if the election commission decide to investigate and We end up with another situation where MPs may lose their seats again. Groundhog Day anyone?

How did the tories manage that then? I thought only labour supporters worked in call centres.

Lol I don't know. But it's such a led question. So does knowing that you live in a marginal constituency that will determine who is prime minister for the Brexit negotiations, does that make you a lot more likely to vote for Theresa May’s Conservative candidate or a little more likely to vote for Theresa May’s Conservative candidate.

That is wrong. And this is the second time they have been caught out. Something really needs to be do e about this. A slap on the wrist and a small fine is nothing if you end up running the country. How do people vote for this party.
 
"Hello madam, we're conducting a survey into voter perceptions. If Mr Corbyn wins the election would you say you feel you are more likely to die a horrible death, much more likely to die a horrible death, or 100% certain to die a horrible death?"

Well they did last time. This is corruption down to the core. And sky, BBC, daily mail.... No of the other media are reporting this. Can guarantee if this was labour... Front page news

What's likely to happen? There won't be another election because of it.... They won't have to pay a huge fine.... Nothing can be done to actually teach them that what they did is wrong.
