Huhne: ‘No’ campaign undermining coalition

Energy secretary Chris Huhne threatened legal action over “untruths” of the No to AV campaign:

“It is frankly worrying if you have colleagues who you’ve respected, and who you’ve worked well with, who are making claims which have no foundation in truth whatsoever.

“Australia’s used [AV] for 80 years without ever using voting machines. If they can’t substantiate that, there’s simple legal redress. They had better come clean pretty fast.
“It’s going to undermine the credibility of colleague ministers, both the prime minister and the chancellor of the exchequer – and the foreign secretary – if they use, repeatedly, allegations which have no foundation in truth whatsoever.

“That is inevitably going to undermine their own credibility and that is not good for the coalition.”
