Serious questions have been raised over the last several weeks about the integrity (or lack of it) of the process of the June 2016 Referendum on the United Kingdom's membership of the European Union.
Those questions are important but are not the only cause of concern about the June 2016 Referendum on the United Kingdom's membership of the European Union.
In Brexit Briefing Paper No.3, entitled "The June 2016 Referendum franchise was rigged. The Referendum result should be rejected." I focus on the even more fundamental issue of the franchise of the Referendum.
The rigged franchise in the June 2016 Referendum shows that its result should be rejected.
Whatever the result of inquiries into the the Referendum campaigns in favour of Leave, the fundamental unfairness and unlawfulness of the Referendum franchise shows that the result is worthless.
It is an outrage against the principles of democracy that a Referendum based on a rigged franchise has been mis-used by unscrupulous politicians to achieve an aim that will be enormously damaging to the United Kingdom.
I am not saying that there isn't a significant number of people who might, in the abstract, prefer that the UK wasn't a member of the European Union.
What I am saying is that the result of the June 2016 Referendum which we're told represented the "will of the British people" did no such thing.
The franchise was rigged.
Up to 5 million UK citizens who lived abroad were denied the right to vote in a Referendum that risks removing their EU citizenship and other EU-derived rights.
Around 1 million Commonwealth citizens were allowed a vote despite their having no proper basis on which to have a vote to remove the rights of UK citizens, including the EU citizenship rights of those UK citizens.
The result of the June 2016 Referendum should be rejected.
