Petition · past parliament

Re-run the EU referendum as both sides lied and used fear not facts.

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

Both the leave and remain campaigns used lies and scaremongering to influence voters. We need to re-run the referendum using an independent body providing the facts so that the British electorate can make an informed decision that severely affects the younger generation.

Why it was rejected

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

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