Rejected petition Declare invalid the EU referendum whose result was based on misinformation.

We the undersigned wish the UK government to declare invalid the EU referendum of 2016 on the grounds that the Leave campaign misled the electorate with a false claim that Britain gives £350m a week to Brussels and that this money would be spent on the NHS if the UK left the EU.

More details

Nigel Farage has admitted that making the claim in question was a mistake.
