Call for a judicial enquiry into foreign interference in the referendum campaign

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The Prime Minister has acknowledged that Russia has weaponised information an an attempt to affect democratic processes in the West.
There is a body of evidence which suggests that this interference may have led to the view of the British public being misrepresented in the said referendum.

In her speech at the Mansion House on November 13th, the Prime Minister accused the Russian government of weaponising information in order to sow discord in the West.
She stated
“I have a very simple message for Russia. We know what you are doing. And you will not succeed. Because you underestimate the resilience of our democracies, the enduring attraction of free and open societies, and the commitment of western nations to the alliances that bind us.
It appears to have happened. Enquiry needed.
