What the petition asks
We believe that the Leave campaign in the EU referendum was deceitful, dishonest and full of lies over many issues including the cost of our EU membership and was therefore a deliberate attempt to mislead the British people. As such to allow the result to stand would make a mockery of democracy
The most obvious example of dishonesty was the lie that the Leave campaign perpetuated from day one concerning the cost of our EU membership which lead to the unprecedented intervention of the chair of the UK statistics authority.
