There are many interpretations of what is 'right'. Conservatives may be right to you, but UKIP may be right to others. This is not a discussion for here though.

P.S. I favour neither of the above.

My OH's mother always forgets to put a stamp on our Xmas card each year, I always have to go and pick it up, in case it is something else. A simple card costs £1.08 in order to retrieve it. I wasn't saying send it in a freepost envelope, send it to their head office address, with no stamps on it, so it isn't classed as freepost. They cannot send it back to the sender, They don't know who sent it !

In my reply I mentioned both the freepost system and just posting the items back as they are indeed different. If you just post it without stamps then UKIP won't accept it and it will be returned to the sender (or discarded if the sender isn't identifiable). Regardless though the cost is likely borne by the Royal Mail and not UKIP.

Unless the candidate has arranged so.
Undelivered election material(this is different form D2Ds) will be sent to confidential waste.
UKIP will never know or see the items

This is something different which is the service where each candidate can have one free item of election literature delivered. Undelivered material (or in reality if there are too many electoral communications for the number of addresses to deliver to) is returned to the individual/party by the Royal Mail if they want it back. If the individual/party doesn't want it then the Royal Mail will destroy it at that point, which is after three days.

The OP was referring to abuse of the freepost system, which there are already measures to prevent. And if people send letters without stamps to an address the recipient doesn't have to pay, it'll just be returned to sender (or destroyed).
