Thread here with video. It's been reported to the Electoral Commission. She surely can't not know what she was doing was illegal? Sack her. Sorry here it is:
Why is it a criminal offence ? The polls aren't open. As long as bulletins are balanced then comments and observations can be made.
She's also influencing the vote by suggesting that votes seen before polls open suggest Labour are doing badly.
I'd spotted that. Never thought that we would live to see the day when some of the Towns and cities in former coal mining areas would even countenance voting Tory. Just goes to show how the political landscape has changed down the years ,if in fact the Tories do manage to take seats from Labour in South and West Yorkshire.
I'd hold out hope that once inside the voting booth and they stare at the ballot paper, people might not vote as they say they did.
She's not using illegal sources as such ....any candidate, agent, or nominated person can go and scrutinise the postal votes being opened...the big parties send teams along who watch it being done and what they see gives them a good indication of how it's going....if a party is behind in a particular constituency they will then send teams out to canvass for the ballot box vote...if their observations tell them they're winning by a country mile they won't bother and will use those teams to canvas in a constituency where it's not so clear cut. The weak point of it is, is that a council officer sympathetic to a party can easily tell the favoured party the reality of what he/she has seen...that is illegal but I've no idea how you can stop it other than opening postal votes after polling has finished. That in reality is what goes on, and all the parties have that unofficial access ... Laura Kuennesberg has only told it as it is....although had she been a bit more vague....e.g. Rumours are....or unofficial sources tell me etc...it probably would have passed without comment.
I’m voting for her like last time because it’s going to be close , the Tories had to ditch their usual candidate , Calvert, because of dodgy online posts
Welcome to the 21st century. We’re trying to make conditions for the lowest earning folk like it was in the 19th century. We will increase inequality as much as we can because those working class plebs don’t deserve the money, those born better do. The likes of me and my good friend Jacob will ensure the elite are protected from any kind of fair taxation or scrutiny for their ridiculousness. We will be that right wing, even a former Tory prime minister from the nineties and and prominent former deputy leader of ours will despise what we are doing! It’ll be marvellous old chap. Best part about it, we’ll get the plebs to vote for us themselves despite clearly offering them absolutely nothing - other than getting out of the EU. And that will kill them off too!!! Just don’t ask me any questions about anything remotely tough unless you’ve some oversized kitchen appliances handy for me to hide in. Yours sincerely, Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson. Man of the people.
She’s the mouth pierce of Dominic Cummins - just tweets whatever he tells her to, like the lie that someone was assaulted by Labour supporters at Leeds hospital the other night.
I always thought that there were restrictions by law what could be broadcast on T.V. or Radio about the General Election, I would have thought Kuennesberg had broken the restrictions in her report to the nasty Jo Coburn on politics live, in telling the viewers who had yet to vote that Labour was losing the vote and as good as telling them their labour vote was meaningless. You would have thought she would have had more sense than to leak such information out.
why more sense - its helping the Tories who she does seem to have a close relationship with as long as they win today she will be fine and no action taken I bet.
Am i missing something here? A suggestion that Labour arent doing so great is just as likely to get the Labour voters off their arses and down to the polling station to fix it as to stay at home thinking it's not worth the effort. There's a huge tendency to one eyedness on here at both ends of the spectrum.
