It has emerged that a US hedge-fund billionaire who helped finance Donald Trump's presidential campaign reportedly played a key role in the campaign for Britain to leave the European union. Robert Mercer, co-owner of news organisation Breitbart allegedly directed his data-analytics firm Cambridge Analytica to provide expert advice to Britain's Leave campaign. Cambridge Analytica, an offshoot of British company SCL Group, uses'cutting-edge technology' to build what it calls intimate psychometric profiles of voters to find and target their emotional triggers. The company has 25 years' experience in military and election management campaigns. This Sunday (26/02), it was revealed that the Mercer introduced the firm to Leave campaigner and former UKIP leader Nigel Farage.
