while the national crime agency investigate Arron Banks and the alleged source of £8m given to the leave campaign, there are growing calls for Brexit to be stopped to allow due legal process to be enacted. here's one, but there are loads in the twittersphere:-

is there a legal basis, or legal precedent to follow, for a political process to be stopped pending the investigation of alleged criminal wrongdoing?

why would brexit be on hold? Do the legal process.

By-elections can sometimes be called as a result of the initial result being declared void -- due to breaking election laws, or funding irregularities, etc. However, I believe in those cases the irregularities have to be *proven*, rather than merely alleged.

In the long run, people who want Brexit not to happen will have to rely on democratic, rather than legal, means to bring this about.

Brexit has been on hold for the past two years plus, trouble from the start , the leave voters thought we would be out the very next day after the referendum,

Despite bring an ardent supporter of Remain I think the best outcome here would be for Banks to be taken to the cleaners legally but for it to have been decided - probably rightly - that his money and influence was largely irrelevant to the result. I think that humiliation would hurt him more

One Mayoral election was voided and reheld - a year or so ago
The hacks excitedly said an electoral court had not been held since 1867.

The electoral commission felt it was not in their purview (!) and turned it over to the police - very of those have happened.

If he you know contributed £8m to a brexit org
and so he was £8m down - and wondering how to pay the rent
and then hey the Russians just put a few says later £8m into an account he controlled wivva little from him as a handling charge
So his worried were you kn ow sort of over

I can see why the authorities are throwing the furniture around
