I was sent that link today. It certainly does paint Buckland in a glowing light, when everyone knows that whatever the organisers objected to, Buckland did it too, but for some reason appear to have been left with all their same IP/Email address votes.
BA told us today they have officially emailed their complaints to both Elmsleigh and the local newspaper, but I'm not sure if anything will come of that. As stated in the article you have linked to, the newspaper is part of this competition, so it presumably wouldn't be in their best interests to report on dodgy practises. Other local papers in the Spelthorne area are all part of the same group too, Trinity South, so if one paper won't touch it, the others probably won't either.
But we are far from just letting this drop!
And we've made up some ground, only 81 votes between us and 2nd place
I haven't had any reply to my questions from the website designer, nor do I expect to now. No-one seems to want to take responsibility for this shambles, so we will just continue to fight our way to 2nd, with help from all our supporters.
Thank you all for continuing to vote, we have 11 days left!
I am going to visit my folks tomorrow in the North but will be checking on all this frequently throughout the days. And at the first sign of any further developments, I'll update you all straight away.
I also won't be sitting quietly up there - lots and lots of potential voters in the wilds of Yorkshire and I'll be hitting them all with my flyers
