Foreign Influence

When all else fails, blame the Russians. The spectre of foreign interference in elections is now raised on a regular basis as a way of discrediting participants in an election. First raised by the Democratic Party in the USA to try and derail Donald Trump's campaign by alluding to foreign funding and attempts to swing the vote through hacking it is now routinely employed in he United Kingdom. Strangely the funding of the Conservative Party by Russian Oligarchs living in London never seems to get a mention. In new twist the Iranians are now being added to the list. The story and the aim is the same though. Who could be next North Korea, Venezuala?
