Do not allow the UK to leave the EU following the referendum result

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

Voters were misled! The Leave campaign was based on lies: that £350 million is sent to the EU per week, that an EU army was being created, that Turkey would be joining imminently, amongst other lies. Protect the UK, its economy and citizens by not following through on the result of the referendum.
