Add to that the uncountable value of having the PM, the Governor of the BoE, the Chancellor, all major parties, Barack Obama and every other bugger queuing up to tell people to vote Remain and you have to conclude that spending is a very poor benchmark of how such campaigns work. Let's not pretend this was ever a level playing field. It was a rigged game that the mark somehow managed to win.
Mmmmm...not so sure. If you want to include Cameron, Obama, BoE etc then you also have to include the BNP, le Pen and others who stoked the anti-immigrant fire which undoubtedly contributed to the result without ever making it invalid. Everyone has a right to an opinion, to say that because more of the high profile people were Remain that that somehow made it a rigged game is an over-statement.

It was a level playing field, or as level as they can get, anyway.
