It's not remarkable at all. Widespread Russian interference in democratic votes is established (Macron's 1st campaign was hacked, Trump 2016 Russia connections, recent interference in Moldova etc). It would've been remarkable if #Russia had done nothing for #EUref given *stated support for #Brexit*

When at #PMQ PM Burnham says we must “look straight at democratic interference”, implicitly around #EUref, does he wonder how his ilk __resist__ such influence? Or whether Russia, China and Iran might “interfere” to push Left/Green issues such as #NetZero or anti-Zionism?

So many bad faith takes on #Russian interference with #EUref inc:
1) "I didn't see anything"; cos 'Jane from Sussex' didn't look like a bot.
2) "You think all Leave voters were stupid & manipulated by Russia"; no, committed #Leave voters won't have been targeted, only undecided.

I tried to persuade coalition govt to have #FOM registration scheme (as I'd had in Belgium) BEFORE #EUref. So they could say & show that FOM was conditional. Response: virtually all EU citizens meet FOM conditions so there's no point. grrrr

I don't think it's fair to require that a referendum be won in the polls before it can be put to the vote.

A real vote concentrates people's minds in a way polls don't. A good campaign can change people's opinions.

A solid base of around 1/3 voters ought to be sufficient - eg #EUref.

Do I really have to spell this out..?

EU countries did not get to vote in the #EUref. That was a decision for the UK alone.

If you're sharing a flat and decide to move out your flatmates don't get to vote to force you to stay.

This is complete nonsense. There is no requirement for a referendum to be won in the polls before it can take place for real. The #EUref for example went ahead even when Leave were in the minority. It is profoundly undemocratic to make special rules for specific issues. 🧵
