Screaming "BUT THE SPONSORSHIP SCANDAL!!!11" is not a useful or applicable response to the issue of whether or not illegal violations of the Elections Act were committed by one or more Conservative Party staffers in the last election.

But changing a quote from a Conservative in a clearly biased fashion obviously does?
And I'd suggest the question shouldn't be "did Conservative Party staffers break election law in the last election" but rather "were any election laws broken in the last election, and if so by whom"?
If someone, anyone, called a single person and knowingly sent them to the wrong polling station in an attempt to surpress their vote they should be punished to fullest extent of the law.
If someone made a call to someone at dinner time and annoyed them... well... perhaps that person should unplug their phone at dinner.
