Declare the referendum invalid as it was based on false information.

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

We think the basis on which people voted was false and that many who voted to leave the EU regret their decision. For example, if Nigel Farage had admitted that the £350m a week pledge for the NHS was "a mistake" before rather than after the referendum we believe it would have gone the other way.
