I just completed an exercise to find the following.

Genuine criticism* of Brexit, and who was responsible.

I counted and classified.
Articles from all major UK newspapers excluding Guardian, Independent and FT
Leave Twitter accounts.

I wanted to asses constructive criticism
*criticism included

Fundamental project problems such as failure to include NI
No planning
No provision for trading downside when calculating "EU cost"
No clear definition of benefits
Ambiguity of CU/SM
True sovereignty deficits.
No deal excluding 2016 Leave promises etc.
*critisism excluded
negative comments about "unpure" Brexit derivations like most of what Theresa May did including Chequers

Negative personality, adhomin or other attacks

Time period was June 26th 2016 to present. For twitter it was hard to get records before 2018.
To be clear, this was a very ad hoc spreadsheet exercise, manual assessment, only online news articles, my own estimate of leave classified twitter

Biases could have crept in in many places, so I need a formal or academic method to do it properly

Because I don't believe it..
As far as I can tell, Twitter, and more concerningly all of our Brexit supporting press.

Think that except for Remain/EU interference,

BREXIT IS THE PERFECT GOVERNMENT PROJECT.

Who is error checking? And Who is being held accountable?

Free Press?
Or offshore owners speaking?
