Of course, the £3.7 million the Conservatives raised in the last couple of weeks (from hedge funds, bankers etc) will be used for no such thing.....
The Electoral Commission warns against doing it inside the polling station, even if it's about your own vote. Elsewhere you are free to publicise your vote. However, as above, there are strict laws against revealing someone else's vote, including influencing whether they publish it themselves. Under Section 66 of the Representation of the People's Act it is a criminal offence to communicate information about the way someone has voted or is about to vote, and specifically to "directly or indirectly induce a voter to display his ballot paper after he has marked it so as to make known to any person the name of the candidate for whom he has or has not voted".
Huh? read it again. 'Voted against'!
How is this a Tory mistake?! Or is your comment just in general and not to do with this particular discussion.

example of a blinded voter who cares not about the detail COLD

correctly
but the conservatives can take millions from private investors while ruining the lives for less advantaged people,
hes not hiring them, hes rewarding them for voting the way he does if that person chooses to share the way they voted.
Couldn't agree more
A lot like the Daily Wail and The **** readers then.

...and in no way imaginable is Labour's promise to remove tuition fees a tactic to influence students and potential students. No way Jose.
No, that's called a policy mate. People vote on what policies they want cos despite appearances politics is not actually football.
You have no idea how many leaflets and crap we've been getting from our Tory MP. He'll be trying owls next.
But sadly, this deal is iffy. Throw as much money at parties as you can muster = totally fine. Throw cool stuff at people = trouble.
Is there?
Perhaps not, but you could buy quite a few footballers for the £9.4bn.
Well I don't 'buy' the buying votes doubt this would be worth much anyway just a print
and no doubt thousands being given away ?
the illegality like pashman said is the problem
I could suggest faking it but that would be very bad as well
not voting
Just another liberal elitist trying to, possibly illegally, manipulate the vote.
Mind you a Banksy? - sod Leaving the EU - LibDems here I come.
A mountain of foxblood and debt? Thought that would have been obvious by now!
And 20,000 less police....to keep us safer.........
Ah come on, shutting down community policing is due to the recession. From almost ten years ago.
Just remember, money got to come from somewhere and that will be us Tax payers. Spending what you cant afford is not good policy. Just a cheap way to buy yourself into parliament!
Avon and Somerset Police are investigating! So don't fall for it!
