Parliamentary Voting System and Constituencies Bill

We are being told that no explanatory documents will be issued unless they have been approved by both campaigns. It could easily be in the interest of one campaign—for instance, a campaign saying, ““We probably should not even be having the referendum anyway because it is not necessary””—simply to object. In such an event, no explanatory information could be issued, and then the conduct of the referendum would be seriously and fundamentally compromised. Some of us have experience of seeing how referendums have been conducted in other jurisdictions.
