"If you give us your details... in the next week or two, we're going to draw one of those names, and Nigel (Farage) is going to come to your house and he's going to pay your energy bills and those of everyone who lives on your street for an entire year."
"Digital campaigners, the Open Rights Group, have now called on the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) to investigate. To enter, competitors are asked questions, including who they voted for at the last general election and who they plan to back at the next."
Reform UK launched a competition offering to pay a street's energy bills for a year, with party leader Nigel Farage personally delivering the prize. Entry requires providing personal details and answering questions about voting history and future voting intentions. The party's Treasury spokesman Robert Jenrick announced the draw at a London press conference. Digital rights organization Open Rights Group has urged the Information Commissioner's Office to investigate the competition, citing concerns about data collection practices. Labour ministers have criticized the initiative as a publicity stunt designed to generate attention through algorithmic engagement.
