Scotland's only Tory MP David Mundell should call a by-election in Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale & Tweeddale as it has become known that he broke electoral rules and overspent on his campaign. David Mundell MP protests that it was a mistake as he did not look over his election spending properly. David Mundell MP has now been reported to the head of the prosecution service for breaking electoral law. The top punishment for this crime is being fined £5,000 and expulsion from Parliament.
David Mundell MP has claimed that it was "an error" and was an "innocent mistake". Mr Mundell has admitted that he was in the wrong. I am not saying that he should pay the full penalty but there should be a By-Election in the constituency he represents as he had an unfair advantage over all of the other candidates standing in Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale & Tweeddale. The only fair way to straighten this out is to re-run the election in this constituency. It wouldn't even bother me if David Mundell MP was the candidate, if there was a by-election, we would know he won or lost the seat fairly. Until this happens Mr Mundell's mandate is questionable.
