Moves to silence the No side for referendum rerun

Had to say i saw this coming but the broadcasting authority has determined it is no longer necessary to give equal coverage to yes and no speakers. Having lost the debate on the treaty the yes side now want a slanted pitch so they can make unfounded claims about a no vote being a vote for withdrawal from the EU, withdrawal from the Eurozone or a general two fingers to the rest of europe.
