Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

The 3 main promises heavily promoted by the Leave campaign turn out to be false.
1. 'Give our NHS the £350m the EU takes every week'
2. ‘A vote for leave will be a vote to cut immigration’
3. ‘5m more migrants could enter Britain by 2030 if Turkey and 4 other applicant countries join the EU’
The following Guardian article provides a really good breakdown of the three promises: http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/jun/27/eu-referendum-reality-check-leave-campaign-promises
