Annul the EU referendum as those who voted did so on the basis of misinformation

What the petition asks
Leaving the EU is a monumental, permanent decision. It is wrong for voters to decide on the basis of lies and misinformation. For example, the Leave campaign claimed that we'd save £50m a day by leaving EU and that this could be spent on the NHS. This persuasive statement is a lie.
