I don’t have a problem with the fines for the spam texters, if anything it should be higher, but not punishing the electoral commission for that is utterly insane.

What purpose would punishing the Electoral Commission with a fine serve? It's a public body funded by taxpayer money.

They should simply be looking to prevent a re-occurrence and a fine on this type of organisation wouldn't help.

Perhaps they should have powers to prosecute executives.
