Petition · past parliament

We support a 2nd EU referendum, based on admittance of misinformation by Leave.

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Hours after the results of the Referendum, three key arguments in favour of Leave were admitted to be false. These were:

1. £350m per week for the NHS (1)
2. Reduced immigration (2)
3. Article 50 invoked immediately (3)

We request the right to revote on the basis that these facts were false.
