Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill

If I may, I will come to the question of broadcasting balance when I have dealt with campaign confusion. The commission stated:"““The issue surrounding different political parties campaigning together (referendum) and against each other (elections) may also cause confusion, and consequent disinterest (even hostility), among voters.””" On reflection, perhaps the yes campaign wants hostility. Let us face it: that campaign wants a plague on all our houses, and to change the system at a stroke to reflect the hostility that people feel towards this place. I am sure that the yes campaign will seek to press that button.
