The Out Campaign is getting £7 million from the Taxpayer as well.
In addition, UKIP is allowed to spend £4 million on the Out Campaign.
All in all it is about even Stevens.
It will all depend on who turns up on the day.
The Oldies like us are voting out, the youngsters are voting in, the difference being that us Oldies are far more likely to actually turn up and vote.
My two kids are definitely voting in, their view is simply that all politicians are self serving gits, so it matters not who is in charge and they can earn better money in the EU than out of it.

Some have made up their minds to stay in, no matter what.
Some have decided to vote "out" for what they believe are good reasons.
This means that only the undecided are likely to read it and unless it is put in very basic language, many may not understand it and others may just throw it in the Bin. What a waste of money!
Nobody can honestly say what the outcome of an "out" vote will be and nobody can guarantee what staying in will bring to the future. Cameron is just afraid that if the public are going to vote on their own instinct, there is a good chance it may not be the decision he wants. This leaflet will just be a clever way of scaremongering so I will be interested to see if anybody has the courage to sign the details printed in it!

In or out is the biggest decision in a generation.
The £9.3 million is peanuts, far less than 1% of what we spend on the EU in a year.
To put it into perspective, it is less than half of what my local MP has raised on his own for his OUT Think which is £20 million.
It would be nice to see some rational discussion, but both sides are engaged on Project Fear and treating the electorate as idiots.
No change there then .

Suffice to say that the `Out` campaign is outraged by this misuse of government funds and blatant bias to promote their own agenda, money that could quite easily have been directed elsewhere for good purposes.
Can we assume that the Out campaign will receive the same amount of public funds to present their case? Can we hell.

Even if it does prove to be true: £9 million for IN, £7 million for out. Fair?

Hopefully, the return postage charges will cost Dopey Dave more than the £9 million he has already purloined and put to his selfish use.
