Re 5 Nov comments on the Electoral Commission (The UK body set up to ensure compliance with electoral law): I think it is worth pointing out that the Times article to be found by following the link shows that the courts upheld fines against the Leave campaign on the basis of its significant breach of the spending rules in relation to a Canadian digital marketing company. It is common ground that at one point the Commission seems to have got it wrong, but in its favour goes the point that it put its mistake right before the court decision, which supported the Commission's eventual position, and which found additional reason for the illegality of the financial arrangements/declarations. The Commission expressed happiness at the fact that it now had the guidance of the court on the matter.
