A party like Fianna Fail with 113 candidates naturally has greater expenditure. Five bye-elections have taken place since the general election. In the course of these electoral contests, Fianna Fail has spent 1.88 on every vote. Labour's real agenda is to rewrite history on this matter. The electorate have shown that they select their candidates and their Government on the basis of policies put forward at each election.
Labour portray themselves as the defenders of democracy.
