Fair point, but unless that happens en masse, it's not going to ever happen.
They can pedal any excuse they want...it's them ffs. No strangers to making even the most ridiculous lies seem true. Tell it enough times and bobs yer faither etc.
I came to the decision sometime ago that I'd never vote. They are not worth my time.
