CONSERVATIVES IN PLAN TO ‘BUY’ WESTMINSTER NORTH
March 3rd, 2010
Labour Councillors have accused of Westminster Conservatives of attempting to “buy” victory at the next General Election after ‘The Independent’ revealed that the Conservatives in Westminster North have received donations of more than £300,000 in the past two years, three times more than Labour.
According to ‘The Independent’ on 27th February,
“The Tories in Westminster North, recently beset by infighting over the selection of “Cameron cutie” Joanne Cash as their candidate, collected £319,840. Labour, which is defending a precarious majority of 2,120, was more than £200,000 poorer than its challengers, receiving £110,871 in the two years.”
Councillor Paul Dimoldenberg, Leader of the Labour Group, said;
“The Conservatives are obviously trying to “buy” the next election because that is the only way they can win. This is an abuse of the democratic process. It is time for the Westminster North Conservatives to come clean on exactly who has been stuffing their bank account with cash. How much of it comes from Lord Ashcroft?”
