It is unthinkable that the "purdah" rules are to be relaxed for the EU referendum: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/eureferendum/11674174/Fifty-Conservative-MPs-to-challenge-David-Cameron-over-rigged-EU-referendum-rules.html
If the rules are relaxed and the IN side wins the accusation will be made that the vote was rigged.
The fall-out, particularly at the 2019 Euro elections, will be profound.
And on a personal level for David Cameron, the bitterness that will be engendered will make his premiership stink. Possibly within weeks of a rigged IN vote there will be a stalking horse challenge against him. Instead of a victory run, the rest of this parliament will be endless ducking of missiles made of ordure.
And as Tony Blair can advise him, there is no shaking off a party that thinks it has been betrayed.
