Petition · past parliament

Review the 23 June referendum campaign to assess the probity of its leaders.

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

The 23 June EU referendum, called to calm internal party tensions rather than answer a national need, caused havoc in markets worldwide and a power vacuum in the U.K. Lies were frequent during the campaign and those involved should be held to account to restore trust in the body politick.

Why it was rejected

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

Hold a public enquiry to the conduct of both sides of the EU referendum campaign
