    CPS considers complaint that leave campaigns misled voters

    CPS considers complaint that leave campaigns misled voters

    The director of public prosecutions is considering a complaint that voters were misled by the Vote Leave and Leave.EU campaigns, in contravention of electoral law.

    The complaint about “undue influence” on the referendum campaign has been submitted by an independent group, spearheaded by Prof Bob Watt, an expert in electoral law from the University of Buckingham.

    Though most cases require a police complaint before evidence can be considered by the Crown Prosecution Service, under the 1983 Representation of the People Act the DPP can consider cases of election offences when they are referred to her office directly.

    The trouble with this is that the CPS will have to then charge virtually all MPs every time they open their lying mouths. The CPS doesn't have the resources.

        Can't we do it in Trafalgar Square?

        It would make more of a world wide impact.

          Regrettably no. It is the way things must be.

            You think this can be solved by some prearranged mass dogging session

                If it were to be proven wouldn't this justify a second referendum?

                  only if we ignore the illegal actions of the remainers side.
