THE NO CAMAPIGN IS ILLEGAL

THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO WOULD HAVE US BELIEVE THEY WOULD BE BETTER RUNNING SCOTLAND ?




This is a serious blow to the credibility of the No campaign



Angus Robertson MP, referendum campaign co-ordinator for the SNP said:




“This is a serious blow to the credibility of the No campaign, from which it will struggle to recover.   We now know that - whether due to staggering complacency or incompetence - it has been engaged in illegal activity since its launch.

“As a director of Better Together, Alistair Darling along with its other board members bears personal responsibility for the No campaign's failure to comply with data protection law - an extraordinary position for the former Chancellor to find himself in.  If Better Together cannot run a campaign without breaking the law, why on earth should anyone take them seriously on the issue of Scotland's constitutional future?

“The law must take its course and be applied.  In the meantime, Mr Darling must make an immediate statement confirming that the No campaign will destroy the data which it has been unlawfully gathering over the past few months - and which it may well have shared with the Tory, Labour and Lib Dem parties.

“The three anti-independence parties have serious questions to answer about how they have found themselves in the position of ganging up together in an organisation which has been caught operating outside the law.”
