Politically too hard, not technically. Hardly ever is. Imagine the frustration with things like disability policy when your average hamster can see what needs changing.

Thanks. I guess we'd need to see actual proof that Banks had lied in the last few days to make it a current matter, then

Regarding "quality" television
Often bandied around as a trojan synonym for 'high' culture unfortunately. As if the masses need to watch more opera. Though we do like that behind the scenes look at the ballet company we all fund together. Shades of sparkling grey.

I'm not sure if Cunliffe is wandering off his turf already by talking about regulatory reform. Not that that's a bad thing.
Filling a vacuum is understandable.

Surely the candidate is responsible for everything that occurs during his campaign?
I believe Mr Geddis addressed that recently. Or maybe it was Mr Edgeler? Apparently the wording in the act does not link the candidate and their campaign team as much as the equivalent central electoral legislatation does.
An interpretation seems quite possible that the candidate need be the only person who must know or not know for the purposes of establishing anonymity, regardless of what their campaign team did.
Of course most of the public are not lawyers, and if it smells like a duck..
