I have just written to the electoral commission about his "election communication". I posted it on FB too and have received 134 "likes" in 12 hours. For your interest this is the text:-

"I have received the "Brexit Party's" election communication for the upcoming EU elections, which I understand has been delivered to all registered electors. I presume they are entitled to receive my details and mail this to me, but if not I want to complain because I don't want their "information" in my home.

The reason I am contacting you is that I believe that the "message" from their leader, Mr Farage, is full of inaccuracies which distort and mislead to the point where they could be illegal under electoral law. I would like you to investigate these and either require that they publish a correction or, because of the serious nature of their transgressions, be required to withdraw their candidates.

Specifically the message contains this statement "In June 2016, 17.m voted to leave the EU-the biggest democratic mandate in British history". This is a lie. British democracy does not recognise referendums within it's system and no mandate can ever be given to Parliament as a consequence of one. That the ruling Party undertook to respect the result does not change that and convert the referendum result into a mandate.

The message goes on to say "almost three years later, the government and MPs have betrayed Brexit". This is also a lie. Parliament has been working hard to try to find a way to deliver a Brexit model which is acceptable to a majority of members. That they are divided in their approaches doesn't mean they have betrayed anyone.

Further on it says "We must fight back against our failing MPs who have defied 17.4 million of us." This is a direct and almost certainly illegal challenge to the rule of law and the supremacy of Parliament. MPs are not delegates sent to Parliament to represent sectional interests. They represent all their constituents, the 17.4 million who voted to leave and the 16.1 million who voted to remain.

Please investigate as quickly as you can. We suffered from the distorting lies of the Leave campaign in 2016 and this could be a repeat unless action is taken immediately."

If you agree with this then perhaps you might consider taking similar action."

Aren't you the little activist.

Another nutcase who just can't accept a democratic decision.

It wasn't a democratic decision despite all the fake claims to the contrary.

To repeat, for the umpteenth time, referendums have no status in our democracy. Democracy is vested solely in our Parliament.
