== cite needed == 

 :"This was despite a campaign in which the BBC was shown as giving equal coverage with the Pro-Euro Conservative Party as they did to the Conservative Party, and that a number of candidates were shown to be from other parties." 

 (a) we need a cite for this.  I'm sure the Tory party made these claims, but we need to source it. 

 (b) what does the last part mean?  "a number of candidates were shown to be from other parties" ???  -
