The original link mentioned that the idea had been dropped. The other thing to bear in mind is that it was it seems Labour party members behind it. Those are much like the Tory party members. They are not the Exec. The group that does have influence on policy.Yes, overseas politicians will always act in a partisan way to achieve their political aims, but sending over a team of 100 for feet on the ground canvassing is, to the best of my knowledge, unprecedented.
The other point is just who posted the add that disappeared.
LOL But yes it does sound a bit extreme but other sources point out that the conversations on electioneering etc had already been carried out and did not involve a lot of people.
