While discussing the proposed EU referendum, Mr Owen Patterson MP told viewers on the Andrew Marr show
“It is
unacceptable that there will be no limit to local Government and
European governments agencies spending money and sending information
to citizens”
The problem is a legal thing called “Purdah”
were a council or any government body cannot spend tax payers money to pay
for election propaganda, to get their own way in a election, this
purdah always started 28 days before any election
This law has been changed so even your local
council could spend your tax money trying to fix it so you vote to
stay in the EU.
Many Conservative MPs consider this change to allow
the Government to spend to get its own way in an election an affront
to the democratic process and they want the old purdah laws
reinstated.

These changes to Purdah
laws bring the whole ethos of elections into disrepute, the
Conservative Party must change the law back or people will say this
vote is FIXED
Can you imagine the EU
spending YOUR TAX money
to advise you to vote to stay in the
EU ?
What a complete fiddle or Fix
This Purdah law has been in for years , but the
last government changed the law and people are worried this
Government will use your money to get a yes vote
The Conservative MP's
who want a fair vote have started
we will publish a list of MP'S and how they vote
