North East's Biggest City Says No

Press Release
North East No Campaign
27th September

In an online poll the people of Sunderland delivered a very loud message to those campaigning for a Geordie Parliament.

The people of the biggest city between Leeds and Edinburgh overwhelmingly rejected an Elected Regional Assembly by 94% (No) to 2% (Yes) with 2% undecided.

Sunderland based North East No Campaign's Neil Herron states, " We are surprised by the results. Obviously we need to work harder to convince that 2% who are undecided. We were considering a series of posters across Sunderland with former Newcastle United Chairman, Sir John Hall in a magpie shirt drinking Newcastle Brown Ale saying 'Vote for Wor Geordie Parliament.' In light of this poll result we must assume that the 2% who wish to vote Yes understand the issue in black and white."
