What the petition asks
The Leave campaign made claims about the UK's contribution to the EU (shown to be wrong) and what should be done with the money instead. They also led a campaign of fear of immigration and retracted statements about what they would do. A misleading campaign could undermine the referendum result
Leave claimed £350 million per week was sent to the EU. This was shown to be inaccurate but they didn't change the information. They claimed that this money should be spent on the NHS. Since the vote, this statement has been retracted. They also claimed to take control of immigration yet since the vote have refused to do anything about immigration.
