Petition · past parliament

Disregard the 23 June 2016 referendum in deciding whether the UK leaves the EU.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

It appears that misleading information was provided to voters by Members of Parliament and Government who held positions of trust. This makes the results of the referendum unreliable.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

Declare the result of the EU referendum null & void.
