What the petition asks

Many voters are saying they didn't understand the ins & outs, and the gravity of a Leave result on our lives and futures.
As such, UK voters would benefit from a test/demonstration of knowledge to earn their vote and show they understand EXACTLY what they're voting for. #NoMoreFalseConciousness
Social media, TV shows, the Internet... Everywhere post EU referendum is awash with reports of the tiny 2% majority in favour of leaving the EU. Leave voters say they're feeling let down by the false promises made by the Leave camp. The main and most shocking example of this is Farrage retracting his claim to put £350m per week, into the NHS.
Remain voters saw through this, and many Leave voters have now said they'd have voted Remain, had they known the true facts. #PoliticsEducationNeeded
