“Who paid for the Ministers to speak as Labour Party Members?”
The real North East No Campaign is keeping up the pressure on the government which seem incapable of obeying even its own electoral rules.
Tony Blair is so frightened of loosing the first of his referendums on regional assemblies, that with only a few weeks to go before the people have a chance to decide the issue, he is sending in the big guns to bolster flagging support for Professor John Tomaney`s Labour backed Yes campaign. But as picked up by Christopher Booker in the Telegraph, by doing so he is breaking the rules for a fair referendum. As the body which is supposed to oversee the parties do not break the rules (the Electorial Commision) seem to be sitting on their hands, the job is being left to the NESN Campaign.

“Who paid for the Ministers to speak as Labour Party Members?”
If the Electoral Commission will not do their job and ask the difficult questions of the ODPM, then we will. We may have to go back down the legal route again, but it is important that this is exposed in advance of any referendum on the European Constitution. The rules MUST be clear, and since the Electoral Commission is spineless and useless, it is down to members of the public.
The ODPM, because there is a referendum very imminent have a duty to respond within 24 hours, especially as we are a Permitted Participant in the referendum.
