Re: Vote Leave fined for promoting Brexit
Campaigning in a referendum has rules. If you break those rules, you can expect the courts to punish you. What is undemocratic about that?
In this case, the rule doesn't even relate to campaigning: it's a blanket rule that applies to everyone, all the time. It's as if a politician's tour bus had been clocked doing 60 m.p.h. down a residential road and parking across six disabled spaces. Would it be an "attack on democracy" to punish that, too?
