Re-run the Brexit referendum

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Significant numbers of the electorate believe they were misled by the leave campaign & information shared during the campaign was false. On this important issue, it is imperative that a fair campaign is run and the electorate has an opportunity to express their views in a re-run of this 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.
