The point I was raising was about the use of a photo from a non political event depicting children who have no choice and whose parents had not been asked if their child could be depicted as part of an electioneering opportunity. This view would be the same irrespective of the Political Party.
Smiley children plus MP (or prospective candidates) looking for electioneering opportunities do not mix and it is a pity that someone who has been involved with politics for so long has taken this approach.
