Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

The Leave campaign has lied to the British people about the implications for exit. To avoid years of social and economic pain in the UK and in Europe, we must reconsider the vote to leave. The Leave campaign must be forced to declare its lies, and the real implications of leaving and then we revote

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

We already have a petition calling for a second referendum:

Call for a second EU referendum as the first did not have a clear mandate.

The Government and Parliament don't have the power to force the Leave campaign to apologise.
