Bring senior politicians to court for lying about facts during EU referendum.

What the petition asks
The EU referendum has highlighted the serious disenfranchisement of the electorate through the use of false information. Electoral laws are surely there to ensure fair elections and safeguard the interests of the electorate. This petition is launched in response to deliberate misuse of information.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
This would be a matter for the police, the Crown Prosecution Service and the courts.
