The Trump campaign has filed a formal complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), accusing the Harris-Walz campaign and the UK Labour Party of engaging in "illegal foreign campaign contributions and interference" in the upcoming U.S. elections. The Trump camp claims that Labour Party activists are influencing the election and boosting what it describes as the Harris campaign’s "radical message."

In a statement released on the Trump-Vance campaign website, the complaint alleges that the Harris campaign is "seeking foreign influence to boost its radical message" by coordinating with Labour Party members. The statement also accuses the Labour Party of inspiring what it calls Harris's "dangerously liberal policies and rhetoric." This complaint follows a post on LinkedIn, reportedly from a senior Labour Party official, which suggested that nearly 100 Labour Party staff members, both current and former, were heading to battleground states such as North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Virginia to campaign on behalf of the Democrats.

 

The official post, which has since been deleted, mentioned that 10 spots were still available for Labour activists willing to volunteer in North Carolina, with housing arrangements sorted by Democratic volunteers.

 

Labour Party officials have stated that these activists are campaigning in a personal capacity and that their trips are self-funded. According to BBC reports, the Labour activists involved have taken leave from their official roles, and the trips are neither organized nor funded by the Labour Party. Instead, accommodation and logistics are being arranged by volunteers working with the Democratic campaign. While Labour officials have yet to issue an official comment on the matter, they emphasize that the individuals involved are acting independently of the party’s formal structures.

 

In the Trump campaign’s view, this level of involvement by foreign nationals in U.S. elections amounts to interference. "The Harris campaign’s acceptance and use of this illegal foreign assistance is just another feeble attempt in a long line of anti-American election interference," the campaign's statement claims. The accusation adds to the heated rhetoric between the two sides as Election Day draws nearer.

 

Under U.S. election laws, foreign nationals are prohibited from making direct contributions to federal, state, or local campaigns. However, according to the Federal Election Commission, a foreign national can participate in campaign activities as long as they are unpaid. The FEC guidelines clarify, "Although foreign nationals may not make contributions or expenditures in connection with any federal, state, or local election, an individual who is a foreign national may participate in campaign activities as an uncompensated volunteer."

 

The Harris-Walz campaign has yet to respond to the allegations. Both the Trump campaign and the Labour Party have indicated that more information will likely emerge in the coming days, making this a developing story that could impact the final stretch of the election season. Whether these accusations will lead to any official investigations or sanctions remains to be seen, but the complaint has already added fuel to the contentious and polarized political climate ahead of the election.

If americans need any reason to vote for trump, they need look no further than whats happened to the UK. The UK is what it looks like when a country gets too liberal

I am sure all those Americans who can't afford insulin, constantly worry about going bankrupt if they get sick, and watch as billionaires buy politicians, fear the UK healthcare and parliamentary system far more.

 

 

UK vs US healthcare system performance.

UK system is 4th in the world
US is 11th
