Should it have been fraudulent though? Look at current issues, like say the Ireland boarder. Where the hell was that in the leaflet that tax payers paid for that Cameron called “Key facts”? Even if the content were more factually accurate, should such a leaflet be funded by the tax payer at all?

If illegal campaign funding caused an elecorate swing, who is to say that the iffy methods of funding that leaflet galvanised leavers and made others reject such a underhanded campaign?

The £9 million Remainer Campaig was UK tax payers money. In legal terms that in itself was dubiously spent from Government coffers. No outcry about that.
Banks was funding his own personal campaign and did not directly pay into the Leave agenda. Some of the Electoral Commission members are outspoken Remainers, so hardly neutral in their pursuit of Aron Banks.
As a UK domiciled taxpayer Mr Banks was "completely permissible to donate money to campaigns as he sees fit".

It was bad enough the first time. It would be pure pandemonium if a referendum were to be re-ran.

The hysteria on this is beyond silly, press, pundits and politicians alluding to the Russians influencing the electorate via social media and now claiming they bankrolled the campaigns. Is this press sensationalism, underhanded political meddling or a case of conspiracy and espionage. I’m past caring even if it is all true.

I’ll deal with whatever happens the same as in previous incidents, like the banking crashes, recessions and local mass deindustrialisation of the area I live.

Really ..!?

Indeed, most pub pundits around here blame the EU for the factory and industrial business closures as we as a country are not competitive with the likes of China etc. Most of the immigration round here was from non-EU countries. We somehow escaped the Polish invasions so this was secondary, although the non-EU economic migrants posing as asylum seekers is always a talking point, the only local impact is a cartel of Albanian hand car washes which is paltry in comparison.

If I challenged them stating these are UK issues not the the EU’s and that fault lies at the feet of Westminster politicians, many would agree. But they’d still vote leave. I suppose I could call them protest voters, but the ONS statistics on leave voter reasons beg to differ
