Political Parties and Elections Bill

I think that ““Ardbrecknish”” was the place name in my constituency that the Lord Chancellor was trying to pronounce. The Lord Chancellor started by referring to the fact that political campaigns had become more national. One of the flaws in the Bill, however, is that it contains absolutely nothing that would prevent a political party from deluging a marginal constituency with literature, telephone calls and newspaper adverts urging people to vote for the party, as long as the candidate's name was not mentioned.
