# EURef2Petition

Data and R code to analyses the EU [2nd referendum petition](http://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/131215).

cron job running `download-petition-data.R` every 2 mins and then processed using `process_petition_data.R`

Main analysis is in `PetitionStats.Rmd`. Please fork if you have improvements

to make. PRs may not be acted on at the moment but are still welcome.
