Interesting reading, especially if you've ever lied on an election leaflet.

Hurray. At last a test case. Love this bit,

Announcing Mr Woolas's suspension from the party, Labour deputy leader Harriet Harman said: "It is not part of Labour politics to try to win elections by saying things that are not true." ;D

Thats Featherstone Labour doomed then? ;D.... Nah :(.... They still think they walk on water as this week will show again. :(

Labour MPs Donate To Fund For 'Lying' Woolas

this makes interesting reading and should make for an interesting election. Apparantly if convicted of lying in election leaflets, the Labour Old Boy network kicks into action to provide funds.
Makes a mockery of fair elections, if you have access to the funds and the friends you can say what you want and you'll be looked after.
