I wasn't aware that the petition had anything to do with the evidence either way. It merely asks if the UK Government might wish to accept the considered view of the leading international authority on the matter.

I think the petition was pretty self-explanatory in that the WHO are, as RK said, the leading international authority, and the UK govt tacitly accept the classification by accepting the nomenclature, but fail to act upon it.
If you are serious about wanting to find out about the recent research for yourself, then http://www.immunesupport.com/library/print.cfm?ID=7403&t=CFIDS_FM would be a good place to start. Dr John Gow's work on identifying a genetic marker(s) is widely accepted as the leading, and most promising, research in this area, though it is being backed up by results from other sources too.
I'm about to disappear for a fortnight, so don't expect any further input from me, should discussion continue, till after 9 March. Try not to have a punch-up about ME till I get back, eh?
