Invalidate the referendum on Britain leaving the EU

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

Given that prominent leave campaigners have now admitted that several campaign messages were a mistake and many Britons are now admitting to mass media that they voted out but are angry they were lied to, please invalidate the result and hold a second referendum.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

Call for a second EU referendum as the first did not have a clear mandate.
