Rejected

What the petition asks
During the EU referendum the Leave Campaign made claims to the general public that were proven to be inaccurate and untrue by official agencies, such as £350 million a week being sent to the EU. Following the result leave campaigners admitted on national TV that the 350million figure was not correct
Following the result it was clear that many leave voters felt betrayed by the false claims and would have made a different choice on 23rd June
