This surely was established constitutionally as a precedent for a campaign's fair parity, by the referendum in 1975 when the government arranged for these 2 mailshots to happen. <br /><br />* That any factual claim made by one side's campaign about the other's position, the other campaign should be entitled to an equal scale of distribution to voters, in all ways, of their answer to the claims, as the original claim attained. <br /><br />* That if, either during polling hours or after them, the winning side lets it be known, either voluntarily or by an admission under questioning, that one of the factual claims made in their campaign, against the other side's position, had been false, then the result should not stand as valid. <br /><br />These are principles for a fair referendum, that I lobbied to my MSPs given the referendum now coming up in Scotland. Sarah Boyack, who was Labour Yes, endorsed these being good points to share with the Electoral Commn.<br /><br />The more we campaign this towards the standards of any future referendum campaigns, the harder it will be to defend what happend in the AV one.ternhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17710224070068773971noreply@blogger.com
