What the petition asks
Given that there is a lot of questions over the truth of the claims made by the Leave EU campaign we ask that figure heads for the leave campaign, Boris Johnson and Michael Gove, are not be allowed to run for Prime Minister until no wrong doing or wilful telling of untruths has been proven.
We are unhappy by the way the campaigns fro Stay and Leave have been run for the EU referendum.
We the people of Britain believe that we deserve to be able to trust our leadership and the information that they give us.
To this end we ask that an official investigation be undertaken by an independent body into the truth and validity of the claims made by both Stay and Leave campaigns and the public be made aware of the outcome as a matter of urgency.
