If laws are broken then those guilty should be charged.
However, did the undeclared funding actually make any material difference? I dont think so, its a case of looking for a smoking gun that does not exist.
Did it make an unfair playing field? The Remain side had the advantage of having the government machine – and £9.3 million of public funds on clear campaign literature:
The government produced a 16-page leaflet, “Why the Government believes that voting to remain in the European Union is the best decision for the UK”, which was delivered to 27 million households in April (and in Scotland and Wales in May) 2016 at a cost to the public purse of £9.3 million, which did not count towards referendum expenditure

Bodd
Charged (and if found guilty) then by default an election offence has occurred.
But what about a result based on election fraud?
You also say that you believe that 'undeclared funding' didn't make a difference (despite some claims otherwise), and yet you go on to mention a declared/legal UK government campaign leaflet as if that was a similar attempt to influence.
You can't have it both ways.
Either a campaign has influence or it doesn't, regardless of the point of view.
The issue is legality/illegality!
It wasnt an election.
The legal answer is clear – unlike in parliamentary or local elections, overspending does not invalidate a referendum result under any circumstances. The courts cannot order a rerun. If the claims were to be proved Vote Leave could be fined – though since the organisation is not engaged in anything post-Referendum this does not have much consequence – and there could be personal legal consequences for those involved, but nothing else.
Its not a case of having it both ways.
What it shows is that the UK spent £9m odd on leafleting for remain but didnt win. On that basis, the additional undiclared amount leave may have spent is in no way the smoking gun some articles have implied. Or in other words, made no material difference.
It certainly isnt in the same league as buying votes.
broke electoral rules how ??? stuffed ballot boxes with false voting forms ? impersonation ? ect ect ??
Or are we saying some one told a porkie pie ? produced false figures ? gave out in-correct or biased information to the voters ?
way r bee the poet
what he knows on the subject could be written in the margins of a washing machine users manual with a 6" paint brush
Someone it appears needs to come up to date as regards breaking electoral rules/fraud...
Mind you, no wonder high tech companies (on behalf of their paymasters) find it so easy - given the ignorance you exhibit
But still run under electoral legislation.
And as for "though since the organisation is not engaged in anything post-Referendum", I refer you again to the funding of the ERG...
The links are there - unless you are a die hard ostrich
Mmm. 51.61% : 48.39%
Did I say it was not?
Is that organisation called vote leave?
You are most welcome to include insults in your reply......it defines you as a person and highlights the weakness of your argument
As I said, did any additional, undisclosed funds make any material difference to the outcome? It may have done if the funds were used to bribe voters as you suggested......
