Can I ask, what exactly was the rationale for thinking Paul Nutall was "Labour's nightmare"? Was it ONLY that he had a Northern accent? Do the commentariat really have such a patronising view of Northerners that they thought that would be enough to sway it?0

Well the rozzers are involved now, coupled with Nuttall one of eight UKIP MEPs who may have to pay back half million quid for misusing EU parliament funds, you can see how their opponents might portray UKIP as sleazy.

If the period for objections was over, and no-one objected then his nomination as candidate is accepted, surely.
So to report it to the police as fraud, you would have to show he intended to deceive, but if that was where he going to be living, I can't see that flying.

Maybe, even though that hardly matters if he has indeed breached the rules, rules which should be perfectly easy to follow. I'm sure if he wins and the win is voided due to the rules he or UKIP will win a followup thanks to backlash against the establishment, but if there is a breach of the rules and it is not challenged, it makes having the rules pointless.Big_G_NorthWales said:

The "7 losing elections" stat is so misleading. It implies he was likely to win, when until Thanet South in 2015 he was just making up the numbers

In all seriousness, the heart of the question is whether Nuttall does risk having the result overturned, in the event that he wins. I don't claim to be an expert in this, but my understanding is that it's too late to challenge the nomination, so he'll definitely be on the ballot, but it seems that he could be in breach of electoral law if Michael Crick is correct. Much would depend on whether any breach is seen as substantive enough to justify declaring the result void.
In itself, giving a address which is not his home address does sound pretty serious, but if he had already rented the house and was about to move in, perhaps the court would see that as sufficient.
Of course, it may be that Michael Crick is the one who is wrong and it's all fine.0 -

Desperate stuff from Labour, makes me think they've seen more bad polling for their man.

The real problem is that UKIP has so little experience of FPTP elections and it shows.0 -
Most people think breaking the speed limit is fine. But the law is the law. Does it matter? I have no idea.. The interview that Nuttall did with Crick in which he denied everything was quite amusing as he was lying through his teeth, and it does show how amateur an operation UKIP runs. Of course, that would make a Labour defeat even more humiliating for Corbyn.isam said:
Putting party politics aside, do you really think this matters? In real life I don't believe I know anyone who would think so, and anyone who admitted they did would get ripped for being a nerd!SouthamObserver said:Such bad luck for the UKIP leader - fancy moving in to sleep on a mattress on the floor only just after the story had broken. Clearly, if Crick had left it just a couple more days Mr Nuttall would have been firmly ensconced and it would all be a complete non-story.

So you think Nuttall will get chucked out if he wins? How do you think that will go down with voters who rejected Brexit & (if he wins) the Labour party?0 -
The more incompetent and feckwitted every single other person seeking to lead or represent Ukip turns out to be, the more impressive Farage's achievement in holding the whole business together for long enough to secure the Euref looks.0

I think it would play into UKIPs hands if the establishment (which Labour are in Stoke having had the seat forever) try to overturn the result. But maybe notSouthamObserver said:

I am honestly not trying to be argumentative here but I don't see why cars are allowed to go faster than the speed limit! It has always struck me as odd. If the govt really meant it, then don't allow cars that can go quicker than 70mph (obv wouldn't stop people breaking lower speed limits)

The same as 2nd Viscount Stansgate's turfing out did in 1961 (and he got 70% of the vote) - they'll just put up with it.isam said:

According to Petrol Prices . com Recent research shows that British drivers waste almost 4 days a year looking for somewhere to park.
Apparently one bloke had to park in Bootle every night until last night even though his home was in Stoke0 -

But it was the Election Court which put Malcolm St Clair in. And he was a decent Tory who became Steward of the Chiltern Hundreds the moment the Peerage Act was enacted and did not stand in the by-election.TheScreamingEagles said:

Phil Woolas was the last MP to ‘kicked out by the courts’ - and was the first MP in 99 years.
Woolas was.

With that record, if it now starts campaigning for PR for general elections it should only take another 5-10 years.0 -
Amazing how many UKIP supporters do not believe the rule of law should apply to themradsatser said:For all that I respect Mike and this site, his LibDemmery( and I use that as an insult), comes out in full flood on anything that is more than 0.000001% negative towards UKIP.
This hyper-ventilating bollocks over this apparent crime against democracy , is cringeworthy in the extreme, and worthy of the honorary title of Baby Boomer Snowflake of the Year for MIke.0
