They are an organisation accredited by the Electoral commission to observe that elections are free a fair. They were founded by their current Director John Auld, a former Liberal Democrat councillor and former Chair of The Electoral Reform Society, a body that campaigns to end the first by the post system in favour of proportional representation. They receive funding through grants from charities such as the Joseph Rowntree Reform Trust and the Andrew Wainwright Reform Trust.
And if we being completely factual, Reform didn’t lose that election, Labour did. It was Labour’s 7th safest seat and something like 400th in the list of Reform target seats. [Post edited 27 Feb 7:44]

it is a serious issue. but once recognised it makes the fact that in the last general election 20% of votes were postal even more worrying. |  |
