Hold a 2nd EU referendum on the basis of misleading and incorrect campaigning

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

The referendum result should be considered illegitimate after the Leave campaign retracted or denied many of the claims that were made in order to get people to vote to leave the EU.

Many leave voters have been on the record to say they felt misled and would vote differently now.
