Rejected petition Hold back article 50 until police investigation of 2015 election completed.

Several Conservative MP's are being investigated for electoral expenses fraud which potentially could alter the result of the election and therefore possibly invalidate the calling of a referendum on Britain's membership of the EU. I understand that police have asked for a further 12 months

More details

There are many references in the public domain about the police investigation which can easily be found on the internet. Several forces have asked for a further 12 months to complete the investigation. If the Conservative majority was invalid then possibly the calling of a referendum was not valid and we should have another general election before considering invoking article 50 to leave the EU.
