Hold an independent public enquiry into the EU referendum leave campaign.

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

The decision to leave the EU should have been one based on facts. It is now questionable that the public were given facts and presented with realistic expectations. If the public were found to have been misled by the leave campaign the results of the referendum should be declared null and void.
