To launch an investigation into election spending in 2015.
A recent Channel 4 News report has revealed alledged overspending in 3 recent By Elections. The news article alluded that our electoral system is woefully inadequate to tackle this type of fraud. This brings into question the results, results that shocked everyone, of the last General Election.
