Tim Bale: Why the real Conservative membership figure matters to the whole country – not just the party

Sooner or later, it will hold a leadership contest in which its members will actually get to decide the winner – and perhaps our next Prime Minister.

By Tim Bale | 21 March 2018 | 56 comments

The Government should push ahead with voter ID trials

Claims that there is no case for them beyond the interests of the Conservative Party ring hollow in the face of the Electoral Commission’s support.

By Henry Hill | 7 March 2018 | 81 comments

Iain Dale: Playing truth or dare with Jacqui Smith

Plus: May’s EU trials, Labour’s EU shifts – and how Russia got there before Trump by recognising Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. Well, part of it.

By Iain Dale | 8 December 2017 | 26 comments

Daniel Hannan: Leave.EU and Arron Banks – the Brexiteers that the Remain campaign loved

And here’s the thing: Banks knew it. Farage knew it. But they didn’t care. Their primary objective was to be seen to lead the campaign, not to win it.

By Daniel Hannan MEP | 23 November 2017 | 249 comments

Henry Hill: The public’s scepticism towards devolution is not reflected among their rulers

Also: DUP dig in their heels in Stormont dispute; and Scottish Labour leadership challenger credits Corbyn with party’s revival.

By Henry Hill | 20 September 2017 | 12 comments

Peter Golds: Voter corruption is prosecuted in Scotland, and it should be in England too

The Crown Prosecution Service and the police are still failing to uphold democracy in Tower Hamlets.

By Peter Golds | 9 August 2017 | 30 comments

The “red tide” of third-party campaigns raises worrying questions about political funding

The Tory campaign was outgunned by a broad alliance of officially non-partisan groups. But are they all truly independent? And where is their money coming from?

By Mark Wallace | 7 July 2017 | 134 comments

Iain Dale: There must be a reckoning for the Electoral Commission after the election

Plus: UKIP abandons the field against Remain Tories. A bike-riding Minister isn’t canvassing. And: Michael Crick should apologise.

By Iain Dale | 12 May 2017 | 67 comments

No action on Mercer’s election expenses, which accidentally omitted £80 of wooden stakes and printing

It’s a reminder that the law requires rather more than a Twitter hashtag campaign as proof of wrongdoing.

By Mark Wallace | 11 April 2017 | 11 comments

Iain Dale: The election expenses allegations – and the mysterious absence of Feldman

Well, it’s been quite a week, hasn’t it?

By Iain Dale | 17 March 2017 | 73 comments

Requiring ID to vote is sensible. But we also urgently need postal vote reform.

Blair’s changes ignored security in the name of raising turnout. It is time to correct that error.

By Mark Wallace | 21 December 2016

Bernard Jenkin: The Government’s EU referendum booklet is an outrageous abuse of taxpayers’ money

And much of this material is propaganda – not fact.

By Bernard Jenkin MP | 8 April 2016 | 120 comments

Peter Golds: Will we have any viable election law in the future?

The rules not only need to be updated but also to be enforced.

By Peter Golds | 29 March 2016 | 23 comments

Tightening the electoral roll is good for democracy

It reduces the risk of fraud and motivates parties to go out and persuade the electorate that voting matters.

By Henry Hill | 1 February 2016 | 65 comments

Individual Electoral Registration will remove an unfair advantage for the Labour Party

Ghost electorates will no longer boost the number of Labour constituencies.

By Harry Phibbs | 5 December 2015 | 53 comments
