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

Rejected 14 signatures

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.
