What the petition asks
The recent distribution of literature at a cost of over £9 Million, making the case for the UK to remain in the EU, undermines the Electoral Commissions objectives of the Referendum and demonstrates a lack of integrity by the Government. We believe voters deserve a fair referendum
The Electoral commission has put a spending limit of £7 million for each of the designated Lead campaign groups (Remain or Leave) in the EU referendum. This has been designed to make the case fair for both sides. By Spending £9.2 million the Government have clearly shown bias using Tax Payers funds. We, the petitioners, request the Government to prevent future tax payer funds, from any source, UK or EU, being used to make the case for the UK remaining in the EU.
