It didnt help Ed Balls, he was high ranking, last time around.

Nor did it help Portillo in 1997.

Are we talking about UK elections or Strictly Come Dancing? A high ranking member of the opposition is quite different to the actual Prime Minister.

He was never in a safe seat, unlike Miliband who was parachuted in Doncaster, where a pig with a red rosette would get elected.

It was thought to be safe Labour at the time.

If I lived in that seat I would happily voted lib dem if I thought it would unseat the tories.

The Lib Dems were in forth place, Labour were in second place.

It was when it was Morley and Rothwell, not when it became Morley and Outwood

Ha ha, this stunt continues to haunt them!

Labour fined over 'Ed Stone' general election costs

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-37760562

The 8ft "Ed Stone", carved with ex-leader Ed Miliband's key pledges, was among £123,748 of payments missing from Labour's 2015 election return.

Good job they're no longer in charge of the economy.

This is the biggest fine the electoral commission has ever issued. If this was a mistake, then it demonstrates massive incompetence.

It's a very good job they lost the election, otherwise you could be looking at an illegitimate government.

Next time any Labour supporters feel like making wild allegations of corruption against their opponents, we shall remind them of this.
