Rejected petition Parliament should declare the results of the EU referendum void.

The leave result does not represent the majority of the 46.5m eligible electorate members. 17.4m (34.7%) voted leave. 16.1m voted remain and 12.9m didn't vote (62.3%). The majority were in favour of remain or undecided. Statistics from Electoral Commission website.This is not a mandate for Brexit.

More details

Further, the Leave campaign used 'potentially misleading information' (Source UK Statistics Authority 2016) like the 'Let’s give our NHS the £350 million the EU takes every week'. This could deceive vulnerable electorate members into believing that a leave vote would improve NHS services. Lastly the majority remain vote in Scotland & NI and calls by SNP leader & Sinn Féin for own referendums may lead to UK breakup. The principle of parliamentary sovereignty should be invoked to void the result.
