For government to issue a formal retraction of the size of support for Brexit.

What the petition asks
In the Brexit white paper, the assertion "the strength and support of 65 million people willing us to make it happen" is a clear reference to the UK population.
This figure is a misrepresentation. As Brits who are *not* willing Brexit to happen, we want government to issue a formal retraction.
