Re: Brexit discussion
Appears the successful attempt to "take back sovereignty" may have been illegally funded.

Vote Leave and Veterans for Britain investigated over EU referendum spending
The Electoral Commission has launched an investigation into two Brexit campaigns over their spending on the EU referendum in 2016.
The elections watchdog said there were "reasonable grounds to suspect an offence may have been committed".
It announced the probe would focus on Vote Leave Limited, Veterans for Britain and Darren Grimes, founder of the group BeLeave.
Despite assessments in February and March 2017 that resulted in no further action, the Commission revealed that "new information has come to light".
Bob Posner, the watchdog's director of political finance and regulation, claimed there were "legitimate questions" over Vote Leave, given it was designated the official 'Leave' campaign and entitled to spend more money.
