Rejected

What the petition asks
We need to preserve democracy and carry out the recommendations of the Intelligence & Security Committee and investigate the influence of Russia on the 2016 EU Referendum. Intelligence agencies & related bodies need to do an independent comprehensive analysis of what happened and its impact.
Brexit has been the most contentious and divisive issue in many of our lifetimes and we cannot continue if we are not sure if it is a true democratic decision of the British people.
We need to urgently understand what happened to ensure it will not happen again.
How can any British citizen have faith in democracy if its government is not even investigating how other (hostile) states are influencing the choices people make to suit their own agenda.
