Invalidate the EU Referendum, as the Brexit campaign wilfully misled voters.

What the petition asks
Key pledges made by the Brexit campaign have been disclosed as untrue, misleading or a mistake by leading members of that campaign. These admissions were made soon after referendum results were confirmed - the Brexit campaign had this information prior to votes being cast, and chose to withhold it.
The Brexit campaign used the following untrue/misleading points:
1. If Britain leaves the EU, the NHS would receive the funding that is currently given to the EU.

2. If Britain leaves the EU, the number of immigrants would reduce.
