The Electoral Commission fined the Conservative Party £70,000 over campaign spending relating a laundry list of spending and accounting issue, I would assume they have a lower burden of proof for this than the CPS has.
Yeah I should think channel 4 / the Guardian will be the only people reporting on this!
Perhaps his lack of connections :)
But don't forget that others (or was it the party itself?) got fined. A key factor in the overall outcome was that crap-ness of electoral law that made it difficult to take meaningful action. In other words, had the law been clearer/better, there could have been more prosecutions.
Watch C4 News tonight and I imagine you will get chapter and verse (as it was their investigation that started it all).
