Rejected petition Make electoral commission sanction campaigns for misleading or false claims.

During the referendum campaign both sides were deliberately misleading. The ONS, OBR and NAO all stated this was misleading but it was still used throughout in debates, in speeches and on the battle bus. This is just over example of lies told to the electorate misinforming their decision.
