So, the latest is that were ahead by 1 point in the YouGov poll. Not only that, but its illegal for the Better Together campaign to panic and promise us more powers as were in the 28 day period before the vote. However, weve got to be careful in case they decide to list powers and put them under the more powers theyve been banging on about since the beginning. Please be careful friends, this is becoming dangerous. ~Sorcha It is customary for there to be a period before elections in the UK, during which Ministers and other public bodies refrain from publishing material that would have a bearing on the election. Section 125 of PPERA sets out the restrictions that apply to Ministers and public bodies in the 28 days preceding referendums held under that Act. Both governments recognise the importance of respecting the 28-day period prior to a referendum, in the same way that both governments already respect each other’s pre-election period for Parliamentary elections. The Scottish Government will set out details of restricted behaviour for Scottish Ministers and devolved public bodies in the Referendum Bill to be introduced into the Scottish Parliament. These details will be based on the restrictions set out in PPERA. The UK Government has committed to act according to the same PPERA-based rules during the 28 day period.
