Parliamentary candidate calls for politicians to be banned from election betting

After being found not guilty of any wrongdoing, a former parliamentary candidate has called for a ban on politicians wagering on UK general elections. A number of politicians were placed under investigation following a wave of scandalous media reports about election betting, including the politician who represented Labour Central Suffolk and North Ipswich.

To protect politicians from themselves, he now calls for a ban. Hee has introduced a draft bill that would prohibit political participants from placing bets on election outcomes.
