What about Remain Campaign ads?

- untog 8y agoThe Remain campaigns weren't found to be in violation of election law.
- drak0n1c 8y agoRemain campaigners were found to have violated laws as well, and they were fined. http://www.cityam.com/277767/electoral-commission-has-fined-lib-dems-and-remain-campaign http://www.cityam.com/277767/electoral-commission-has-fined-...
- untog 8y agoI stand corrected. But still, "massively overspending" and "failing to report correct levels of spending correctly" are quite different rule breaches. It's not difficult to see why Leave ads are being examined and Remain ones aren't.
- repolfx 8y agoRemain massively overspent but simply did it in a way that exploited loopholes in the law. The advertising mailshot alone cost more than their entire allowed budget. They also had the entire civil service working for them, the cost of which is essentially incalculable it's so high. The idea that Remain spent less than Leave is clearly ludicrous if you simply look at what happened. Funding wise there was no competition. The fact that parts of the government are trying to argue otherwise is just another aspect of their attempts to undo the vote by any means possible.
