Letter in reply to Katy Clark MP

There is no way we can afford legal costs to fight this inequity. This problem is the result of bad legislation, and we believe politicians have the responsibility to sort this out. The refusal of the Scottish Government to take control of an unjust process that operates throughout Scotland, gaining "yes" results by proven dubious means, has to be challenged. 
Since we have been refused a re-ballot by this government, we in Largs have linked up with Edinburgh Grassmarket Bid Concerns Group, who are engaged in a similar battle as Largs for the same reasons. I enclose press articles from them, and also BID Farewell, a group based in the Glencoe, Fort William area, who are battling to prevent the same abuses of democracy happening there in their BID ballot.
We are using social media to link up and get the truth about BID out in the public domain. BID thrives in secrecy, and we are committed to exposing this quango to the public and the media. Politicians will be held to account for foisting this abuse of democracy on already struggling businesses.
