What the petition asks
EU referendum result to be rejected - lies on both sides of campaign blocked a properly informed vote; Overspending skewed reliability of outcome; Hard push from the main stream media to vote Leave influenced vote; Cambridge Analytica influenced and biased result. No democratic value to biased vote
'National press coverage was highly polarised, with pro-IN papers emphasising pro-IN campaigners and arguments, and pro-OUT papers emphasising pro-OUT equivalents. In aggregate terms, this produced a ‘coverage gap’ of 60%: 40% in favour of OUT campaigners. However, when these differences are weighted by circulation, the difference extends to 80%: 20%.': https://tinyurl.com/hkzkj3z https://tinyurl.com/yc74hb4s https://tinyurl.com/y8wv5yy9 https://tinyurl.com/yaz4rlsb https://tinyurl.com/y829hryj https://tinyurl.com/ycaxzwnk https://tinyurl.com/yd85xxur https://tinyurl.com/y7srcxfu https://tinyurl.com/yaof5tez https://tinyurl.com/yc2xsjrr
