This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Hold a vote in Parliament on to trigger new EU membership referendum.
During the run up to the referendum the Leave campaign was guilty of false representation as defined in the The Fraud Act 2006. As a large number of people were mislead by this information the referendum result should be considered void and a new referendum triggered.
