Unsourced and incomplete: how referendum campaign leaflets misused statistics.
We know some of the statistics deployed in the EU referendum campaign were at best dubious. But how did both sides deploy stats to make their points? Nambassa Nakatudde takes a look at the hundreds of campaign leaflets donated to the LSE Library archive, and finds a number of alarming traits: an almost total failure to source statistical claims, a tendency to draw invalid comparisons and selective infographics that left out key information.
