Rerun of EU referendum due to misleading campaigns placed before the voters.

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

The arguments put forward for consideration to the British public were misleading and not properly outlined. Thus making a just decision impossible. A democratic vote must be based on valid fact when so important to the future of the country. A re run of the EU referendum must be considered now.
Since the original vote factors put forward are now shown as incorrect including the basis if a leave campaign being to transfer payments into the EU to fund the NHS which are now being receeded upon. A serious devaluation in the economy and an emergence of uncertainty around the decision made by those who voted in favour of leaving. Plus a lack of clear debate around strategy to safeguard jobs and prevent further discrimination within the UK must favour the need to validate with a re-vote.
