    Mark Reckless won the Tory primary: LOL

    When will Conservatives tell us how many of the 5,688 ballots were returned like this? @MichaelLCrick #Transparency pic.twitter.com/RUNoX6ZH7f

    If they don't release the real voting figures, an increasing number of people will believe that a lot of ballots were returned looking precisely like the one in this photo.
    Electoral Reform Society independently ran the Totnes and Gosport primaries but didn't run Rochester. Still trying to find out who did run it, anyone know?
    There was a discussion about the ERS here a little while back. This is the reason why they are used.
    If the cost of the ballot are to be set against their election expenses this time (as it is a by-election) maybe they did it themselves to cut costs. May prove to be a false economy in the long run. Still nobody seems to know who did run it this time, I would really like to know. Come on Mike surely someone has an idea!!
    I had been under the impression that the ERS was running the primary and also that it had been decided that the costs would not count as part of the official by election campaign and so would not count towards the spending limits.

    Definitely not run by ERS this time. Interesting

    You would have to be pretty stupid to be taken in by anything Labour said on immigration.
