So Mrs May says we will be
out of the EU and not contesting the EU elections? Aye, right.
From documents dated March 2019 it
looks like the government are well prepared after all. For the EU elections!!!!
“This document applies only to the 23 May
2019 European Parliamentary elections in Great Britain. Our guidance and
resources for all other elections can be accessed from our website at:
http://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/i-am-a/candidate-or-agent.
And: http://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/__data/assets/pdf_file/0020/163523/EPE-Part-1-Can-you-stand-for-election.pdf
All this is rather odd because only on the 1st of April we had Rt Hon David Lidington writing to the Electoral Commission
confirming spending arrangements in preparation for an election that may not
happen.
It seems the government are
happy to spend money on an election that may not happen while the chancellor,
Mr Hammond, was extremely reluctant to spend money to prepare to leave the
EU.
