Exeter Students For Europe's stance has been echoed by the city's MP Ben Bradshaw who has repeatedly questioned the decision to leave the EU. Writing for DevonLive.com last month, he said that the Facebook and Cambridge Analytica scandal raises awkward questions about legitimacy of the Brexit referendum.
Britain was the fastest growing major economy before the #Brexit Referendum. We’re now the slowest - official #BrexitShambles #FBPE
"It is already clear to me that our regulators have neither the power nor the resources they need to protect our democracy from manipulation. Just look at the farce of the Information Commissioner spending a week before finally getting a warrant to search Cambridge Analytica’s office, when Facebook themselves had been to their offices within hours of the scandal breaking.
"But Ministers too need to take this problem more seriously than they have. Indeed, everyone who cares about our democracy should, however awkward that might be in terms of raising questions about the legitimacy of the Brexit referendum result."

From the MP's Twitter feed:
- Good to see the allegations of law breaking by the Leave campaign being taken seriously by the Washington Post even as they’re ignored by most UK media https://protect-eu.mimecast.com/s/El79CZY7Jt7DGLqsP8TP5?domain=google.com …
- Ben Bradshaw Retweeted“I hope that there is a police investigation into Vote Leave. This is me trying to shake everyone: ‘They’re fucking with you, you’re not questioning it.’” Brexit whistleblower @shahmiruk to @georgeeaton about the need for another EU referendum:
- Ben Bradshaw RetweetedRead about the evidence below. ChangeBritain was @GiselaStuart’s ‘grassroots’ campaign. Only now we know the website built by AIQ & there’s a @vote_leave email on it. And @GiselaStuart is not answering my qs.
- Ben Bradshaw RetweetedWhat is eating @GuidoFawkes? Why the multiple hit jobs on me? Or, another question: what is the story behind Wess digital, the data firm Guido (Paul Staines) set up with CEO of @vote_leave with @matthew_elliott?
