The Electoral Commission should investigate Vote Leave
The Electoral Commission (EC) said “it would not be in the public interest to investigate” if Vote Leave broke the law (for a 2nd time) during the referendum. It also said that money obtained from crime might not make a political donation unlawful. An investigation is in the public interest.
