Postpone the EU Referendum: Voters need neutral information
Rejected
19 signatures
What the petition asks
We are confused. As always, opinions are being presented as fact. This time it's too important. We want a neutral body to provide information on how the EU works, the basic facts and the issues at stake to all voters. We want to postpone the referendum until we can make an informed decision.
This issue cannot be reduced to soundbites.
This is a huge decision which will have an immediate impact on all our lives and our children's lives.
Any inconvenience caused by postponing the referendum is worth it to make the right decision.
