Voters misled in EU referendum therefore results should be delared null and void

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

We the undersigned believe the non-legally binding advisory referendum of the 23rd of June 2016 that received just 37.4% support from eligible UK voters to leave the EU was based on false information propagated by the Leave Campaign.
A majority of the Leave Campaign pledges have now been retracted by their own leaders either fully or in part.
Since many people voting for leave might have been misled by the Leave Campaign's now retracted pledges, then any result from this referendum should be ignored and seen as null and void or certainly not sufficiently credible on which to base a decision.
