Declare the EU referendum result invalid due to propagation of untruths by Leave

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

Many voters voted Leave on the grounds that leaving the EU would free up £350 million per week to spend on the NHS. This was a lie, as admitted by prominent Leave campaigners after the result. Therefore the basis on which the Leave campaign won the referendum is invalid
Check out Susannah Reid's interview with Nigel Farage, in which he admits the £350 million a week claim is untrue.
