That is what I am saying. As I said, when I spoke myself, some of the moneys taken into consideration for electoral spend are extra moneys that are under the radar but included as local authority expenditure.

On the issue of political background, we can all discuss it further. One can see that every business has a drying out period for everybody, be they consultants, corporate or whatever, and that should be the case. Just because one wears a political hat one should not be excluded from everything. I disagree that one loses all sense of reason just because one is a politician.
