Hold another referendum on whether the UK should remain in, or leave, the EU.

What the petition asks

It has now come to light that the campaign leading up to the first referendum gave misleading information to voters. Had this misinformation not been put before the voters, the outcome could well have been different.
Voting on whether the UK remains in, or leaves, the EU was probably one of the most crucial things a British citizen was expected to do. The outcome of the referendum effects nations and lives beyond that of the UK and its population.
It is only right that the voters are given the correct information upon which to base their decision.
It is our opinion that the current result be treated as invalid based on the above argument and a fresh referendum be offered.
