Now we know that the IN lot can have full use of the civil service and the OUT can't have any we can see if we didn't already know that this is a rigged poll.

Goebbels would be proud.

I was surprised to have read it on the ever so slightly biased BBC earlier...

Civil servants banned from helping EU out campaigners

I think that is wrong I'd quite like both sides to have a similar chance at putting their arguments across. Granted the govt is backing the in campaign but if they're letting individual ministers vote with their conscience then the complete ban on civil servants providing assistance to ministers over this is a bit off.

There is absolutely nothing fair about the referendum. Cameron will pull as many strings as necessary to win it.

I love a good label. You've got to group people together and associate them with negative stereotypes if you want to win an election. Heaven forbid you actually campaign on the issues

I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Government stance is to stay in EU and thus resources available to them can be used as they see fit to achieve that.

On personal level MPs are can vote whichever way they feel (as they should be) but that doesn't give them right to use government resources. I don't see it any different to MP using civil servants to cut their lawn or clean their car.

Cameron playing dirty already. He must be worried.

It is starting to become a joke. Dirty tactics, backhanded comments to Boris / polticians etc. Started to wonder if this adds credence to the EU being corrupt if the kind of people that want to be in it (politicians) are willing to cheat and lie (claiming the word sovereignity means something it doesn't as well).

TBH the referendums only just been agreed and they've already shamed themselves several times.

Since we've had David Cameron come back should we not have a new poll knowing what he has actually achieved?

why as tbh we shouldnt even have the referendum until the ec has signed off on this deal. dont forget he's got NOTHING yet. all he has is a outline of a possible deal.
 
I'm heavily leaning towards voting out, but we do a lot of work within the EU and specifically with German companies so I'm not quite sure if we'd be better off. Our accountants are investigating it as they tend to be on the ball...

Anything that weakens the Euro will be good.

Ultimately I think people will bottle it and we'll stay in.

To be fair to the "bottlers", there really hasn't been a convincing case put forward as to exactly how we'll be better off.

All of the argument has been thus:

"We'll get our sovereignty back."

Well, great. But exactly what will that mean? We will have to accept free movement to keep trading with the EU?

"We'll get our sovereignty back."

OK. How will our economy be affected? Will we have more money to spend on infrastructure? Will our manufacturing or agriculture be better off?

"We'll get our sovereignty back."

And that's all I've seen any of the Leave campaigners say.

"We'll get our sovereignty back. We'll make our own laws. We'll make our own treaties and trade agreements."

Well, great. But tell us, please, who will be better off and who is going to lose out?

"We don't know, exactly."

So can you blame the "bottlers", when the Leave campaigners have only sound bites, and no concrete predictions... at all?
