Hold to account all who deliberately lied to the public during the EU referendum

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

Many voters were duped by fraudulent claims about what would happen following a Brexit vote and voted on that basis.
They were lied too.
Many claim fraudulently, as there will be some, that pocketed huge sums of money, based on the outcome.
We wish for a judicial enquiry.
We want to know who made money, as a result and were they connected with either campaign?
If there is evidence of deliberate misrepresentation.
We would like this acknowledged and the opportunity to hold a second referendum, before article 50 is invoked.
