This s**t should not be allowed as it's completely biased and thus the only thing some people may see who do not use the internet or watch much TV.
I had just this discussion with Husband, earlier. We're both on the same page about it. If public money is to be spent on what is meant to be a non-party political vote of personal conscience and opinion, then people need to be presented with neutral, non-hysterical arguments for both options. Yes, it will mean that the same facts and figures end up being interpreted to mean different things but it's a complex issue which requires some serious consideration, yet, instead, is being presented in a cloud of selective hyperbole and obfuscation, depending on the view being pushed.
Edit: anyone who even mentions bananas loses my confidence in their opinion.
