Declare the result of the EU referendum null and void

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

The information disseminated by the leave campaign was described by Michael Dougan, Professor of Law at Liverpool university, as "dishonesty on an industrial scale."
It is wrong that a decision of such magnitude should be allowed to stand when it has been affected by such levels of misinformation.
