George Galloway runs into legal accusations over exit poll law

The Independent reports:

George Galloway has been reported to the police after allegedly reposting a message on Twitter about an exit poll before voting had finished, it has been reported.

The Respect candidate for Bradford West may have contravened the law preventing the early publication of exit polls after retweeting a message regarding early exit polls from the constituency.

The tweet was later deleted from Mr Galloway’s account, while the account it was originally posted from also appeared to have been taken down.

Bradford Council’s returning officer has now reported Mr Galloway to police.

Perhaps he should have been a reader of this blog…
