It would benefit the hard right small state parties - that's one of the reasons the UK civil service has what's called purdah they are not allowed to issue information "which could be seen to be advantageous to any candidates or parties in the forthcoming election"
But in the UK we do get a yearly break down of where our taxes go - just not directly before an election
- sokoloff 9y agoLogically if releasing at time X would benefit party Y, then it would seem that party "not Y" is benefited by releasing the information at time "not X".
- jopsen 9y agoNo, logically, there are many more times than "X" and "not X", furthermore most countries have more parties than "Y" and "not Y". And there are different pieces of information that could be released. But it's also a false balance, just because two sides have different positions doesn't mean they are equal. Process abuse and dirty tricks are not okay.
