| Quote: BBC political correspondent Ross Hawkins said many Leave campaigners see the deadline extension as a "fix" because they think people signing up late will be younger and therefore more likely to support the EU. The official leave campaign - Vote Leave, in which Mr Banks plays no part - has said the government is trying to register as many likely Remain voters as possible, but stopped short of suggesting that it would consult lawyers. | |

On one hand, they whine about democracy, but when it comes to ensuring that as many people are registered as possible to vote, they get upset.
I want a clear mandate - regardless of the result - and you can only get that if turnout is high. I’m also in favour of declaring the result void if the turnout is low - and I expect that to be in line with Union voting regulations.
