Make the remain campaign pay back the tax payers money it wasted on the leaflets

What the petition asks
Make the money wasters pay it back. It should never have been allowed for them to use tax payers money.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
The leaflet was distributed by the UK Government, not by the official Remain campaign. The cost of compensating tax payers as the petition suggests would be therefore borne by the taxpayer, so it is not clear how taxpayers could be reimbursed in this way.
