Out of curiosity ... if this result was *declared void* by the Electoral Commissioner - due to corrupt & illegal practices that might reasonably be expected to have influenced the result - then why doesn't the same apply to the referendum?🤔#CriminalBrexit

Is it because the first was an offence under S127 of the Representation of the People Act 1983, whereas the referendum was under the European Union Referendum Act 2015 which had no such offence? Precedent? Genuine question. Can any legal experts assist? @JolyonMaugham @JMPSimor
OK, thanks to @VesperUK for pointing me in the right direction. Summary of the legal loophole (paradox) that says if the referendum had been legally binding it would have been declared void, but it wasn't legally binding so the PM was wrong to trigger A50! brexitshambles.com/the-legal-loop…
All of which I realise I already knew - having supported the @UKEUchallenge court case and read the summary! Brexit is doing my head in today 😡😂Appeal decision awaited. See link for information & to donate:

😬(Sorry guys, as you were!)
High Court judgment: "Parliament has left the policing of fair & democratic elections to the chance that concerned citizens will become involved at their own expense.Whether that is an appropriate & sufficient way to protect democracy is open to question."

FUNDAMENTALLY, THE UK HAS YET TO HOLD A LAWFUL, FREE AND FAIR REFERENDUM BECAUSE THE LEGAL VALIDITY OF THE 2016 REFERENDUM WAS IMPAIRED BY THE CORRUPT AND ILLEGAL PRACTICES ADOPTED BY NUMEROUS LEAVE CAMPAIGNS.
2)The EU and the rest of the world are aware the referendum result was unsafe, the fact is regularly reported in foreign media and by academics, for instance, Professor Robert Patman of Otego University has stated on national news in New Zealand that Vote Leave......
3) which goes to the heart of the Cabinet, committed the biggest ‘electoral irregularity since the 19th Century’.

Before 'Brexit: the uncivil war' being aired tonight (7/1/19) on @Channel4, this thread explains how the overspend & collusion between Vote Leave & BeLeave illegally changed the ref result over the last few days of the campaign.

1.
#PeoplesVote @acgrayling @abcpoppins
This is based on expert advice to the court by Prof Phil Howard & relies on sources with first-hand knowledge of the events, Dominic Cummings' website & evidence given to the DCMS Select Committee (inc. evidence given by Facebook).

This information is beyond dispute.

2.
Leave won by 1,269,501 votes. A swing of 634,751 ppl would've reversed the result. Standard industry modelling predicts that 800K voters were converted/persuaded by Leave overspending during the crucial period, when Remain had stopped spending (after reaching their cap).

[Thread Pt2]

Official summary of Govt's response to Wilson v PM JR claim (@UKEUchallenge) 👇👇

This thread continues with counsel’s response to the govt's Summary Grounds of Resistance (SGR) and picks up with why the @UKEUchallenge is both arguable and justiciable. /25
The findings of the EC Reports comprised findings of misconduct by Vote Leave & Leave.EU serious enough to amount to ‘illegal or corrupt practices and/or fraud’. This conduct is covered by the RPA as a species of conduct rendering the result of an election void./26
In this species, the one the Claimant relies upon, illegal practice is defined as when a candidate is guilty, or guilty by his agents, of any corrupt or illegal practice. Erlam v Rahman [2015] EWHC 1215 held that proof of its effect is irrelevant and not required. /27

[Thread Pt1] Official summary of Govt's response to Wilson v PM JR claim (@UKEUchallenge) 👇👇

The govt response is preposterous. It misinterprets & distorts the grounds in what can only be described as an attempt to pervert the facts & side step the essence of the claim. /1
The Summary Grounds of Resistance (SGR) tries usual tricks to prevent a claim from getting permission.
1. Time
2. Unarguable
3. Non-justiciable
Each resistance can be strongly refuted by the Claimant; I'll deal with them briefly... /2
Time: @theresa_may first asserts the claim is out of time because it needed to be brought within times ranging from 21 days to 6 weeks. These timing claims originate from Sch 3 of EURA 2015 & the Representation of the People Act 1983. Both can be heavily contested. /3

[Ref illegality & corruption THREAD 👇👇]

Been asked to summarise the Susan Wilson (@Suewilson91) v Prime Minister case. This thread gives the basics of the pleadings and relief sought. /1

#UKEUChallenge

#VoteLeaveBrokeTheLaw #FBPE #WATON #FBR @abcpoppins #StopBrexit
There is a principal issue underlying the case that poses a simple question: is a lawful, free and fair vote one of the constitutional requirements of the UK? It's asked after 2 Electoral Commission (EC) Reports found that illegality & corruption dogged the ref campaign. /2
Let me make this clear. The EC findings were to the criminal standard of proof (beyond reasonable doubt) & serious offences were committed by the designated campaign for leaving the EU (& others), in breach of the statutory framework established by Parliament for the ref. /3

Does AUSA Moira Kim Penza, prosecutor in the fed. #NXIVM #RICO criminal racketeering case, realize that her indictments of #NXIVM leader, Keith Raniere aka "Vanguard," last March, may have affected the outcome of the 2018 Mexican Presidential Election? #ArizonaMafia #Democrats
Moira Kim Penza is 1 of the main prosecutors in the federal #NXIVM #RICO criminal case. A #RICO case is very serious; it is 1 of the most complex types of prosecutions the U.S. Government can initiate. Moira's boss is Richard P. Donoghue, U.S. Atty for the Eastern District of NY.
Penza is a smart lawyer. According to publicly available information, she studied at Cornell Law School, a private Ivy League University located in Ithaca, New York. Cornell was ranked the #13 law school in America, out of 203 law schools, by U.S. News & World Report, in 2018.
