Make £9.3m of taxpayers money available to the Brexit campaign for leaflets
Given that the government have used £9.3m of taxpayers money to fund a pro-EU leafleting campaign nationwide, it is in the interests of a fair and honest referendum campaign to ensure that the opposing view has the same opportunity to present its case to the public.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. The Government does not have the power to make £9.3m of taxpayers money available to the campaigns for leaving the EU, as the Government is not considered a permitted participant under the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000, meaning it cannot donate to campaign groups.
You might be interested in signing the following petition, calling on the government to make the case for leaving the EU on its leaflets: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/126854
