Britain's governing Conservative Party finds itself embroiled in a gambling scandal as the country gears up for an upcoming election that is anticipated to result in a defeat for the party.
Recent reports from the UK's news agency reveal that Conservative candidate Laura Saunders is under investigation by the gambling watchdog for alleged betting offenses. The investigation centers around a bet placed by Saunders on the timing of the general election scheduled for July 4. Saunders, who previously worked for the Conservative Party, is married to Tony Lee, the party's director of campaigning, who has taken a leave of absence amidst the controversy.
