High Court Writ to be Served on Deputy Prime Minister by No Campaign

Details Here:

The official “as designated by Tony Blair’s Electorial Commission) NESNO conservative backed group is going to post between 25 to 50 posters, good for them. But whilst they let the government get away with stealing the referendum by spending government money to lie to the people.
At least the real “No” campaign is doing something constructive to put the full details before the electorate.
“North East No Campaign” Lawyers have prepared an application in the public interest for an emergency Injunction with papers to be lodged today at the Royal Courts of Justice.
A writ will be served on John Prescott’s Office of the Deputy Prime Minister.

Letters of objection requesting a full correction of the leaflet have been ignored by the ODPM, the Audit Commission and the Electoral Commission, leaving the No Campaign with no choice but to take this drastic and high profile step.

“Neil Herron states, ” We have given the Deputy Prime Minister repeated opportunities to address the factually incorrect statement which gives the impression that people will be elected under proportional representation. Also, the partial correction addressing the incorrect cost figure for local government reorganisation has been admitted BUT there needs to be a correction for everyone who received the leaflet, not just County Durham. The people across the whole of the North East cannot be expected to vote on the North East’s future based on a misleading document. We do not wish to jeopardise the referendum, but a decision affecting ours and our children’s future cannot be made without everyone having the correct information.”
