There is some substance and a fair sprinkling of FUD in the flyer, which makes it comparable to the underhanded government "information" campaign. Both of these leaflets arrived in my postbox on the same day. EFD's one made it clear that it was a case against the treaty and who it was from. The other one pretended it was a neutral assessment, and didn't say who it was from.

Almost exactly the same thought I had on it actually. I’ve found myself subconsciously referencing the ‘balanced’ leaflets as ‘yes’ ones when speaking to friends.

I understand your position, but I don't agree. I have no desire to receive bunches of paper on this. I would far rather see detailed analysis online, and good debates on TV. Sloganeering pamphlets from either side are not particularly welcomed by me.

Oh don’t’ get me wrong, I wasn’t lamenting a lack of information for myself. My thoughts were that, when it comes down to it, these things get more exposure to the majority of voters than in-depth sources of information. Especially those who are simply not interested in seeking out hard facts on both sides (which I would imagine is a very large group of people).

Therefore when the only information they get are from passive sources such as word-of-mouth at the local pub, uninformative buzzword posters and these information leaflets thrust through their door, it irks me that the medium with the most potential for actual facts to be laid out can be hijacked like this.
