Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

Campaign going pear shaped already!

Failed leave campaign decries 'political stitch-up' and threatens legal challenge within days
A leading figure in the group that failed to become the lead Out campaign has called the decision a “political stitch-up” and pledged to challenge it legally within days.
Speaking after the announcement, Arron Banks, the founder of Leave.EU which is one of the groups comprising GO Movement, confirmed he would now be seeking a judicial review to the decision.
The comments come after Mr Banks had told The Telegraph before the announcement that he would consider a legal challenge.
Asked if he would seek now judicial review, Mr Banks told The Telegraph: “Definitely. We are going to see lawyers now. We think they haven’t applied the criteria they should have.”
When asked if the move was just “sour grapes” for failing to get the nomination, he responded: “It is not right. We have over a million supporters, [Vote Leave] have nobody but a few Tory politicians. ... This is a political stitch-up.”
On the impact of the decision on the EU referendum campaign, Mr Banks said: “It becomes an internal squabble in the Conservative Party, doesn’t it? Do we really think Gove and Boris are going to go at it with the Conservative Party? They are one and the same, it is a stitch-up.
“The bottom line is we’re going to judicially review it and we will go at it 100 per cent. The net effect is that it will probably delay the referendum.
“The process has been despicable. They have been saying they stitched it up with the Electoral Commission. We got nearly a million supporters.
"We’ve got Ukip, the main campaigning force behind the referendum, and they’ve given it to a bunch of Tories to basically have an internal fight with themselves. It’s crazy … It is a disgrace.”

So much for unity. If it is delayed then the Autumn is next opportunity.

Are saying that it is a corrupt political decision?
What do you expect in a banana republic?

It is true that the Vote Leave side are mostly from the tory Westminster bubble..
Is it more of 'the establishment looking after their friends'........
The Pro EU media must be rubbing their hands in glee at V.Leave getting the nod..
Tory fighting Tory is the impression.
