What the petition asks
A full Parliamentary investigation is needed looking into all the false information provided to the public during the EU campaign, why it was allowed to be distributed, why it wasn't stopped, what affect it had on the referendum outcome and the resulting legality of the result
People have voted on the referendum based on false information provided by both campaigns and the media and this needs to be investigated
