I now see it is claimed the show would have fallen foul of European elections rules. I liked my conspiracy theory best.

We need to be careful as it is not "European election rules" but "Ofcom (UK Telecomms & Media Regulator) rules " about impartiality ahead of elections (in this case it happens to be EU elections).
We would not want your innocent wording to lead to the usual anti-BBC right-wing self-styled protectors of mankind's rights from the "left-wing BBC" go on their usual attacks. Although, sadly, material facts do not usually hinder such fine people!
