Rejected petition Hold 2nd EU vote now there's proper debate of the issue and people understand it

Voters were misled by lies and scaremongering from each side. The question of EEC membership, which guarantees free movement of people, was not asked - but immigration became a key issue. The Electoral Commission, by its own admission, failed to provide independent information to all UK households.

More details

There has been far more sober discussion of the consequences of a 'Leave' vote than there was before the referendum. If a 2nd referendum were held the electorate would be making a more informed decision - whatever the eventual outcome. Gove, Johnson and Farage - the leaders of the "Leave" campaign have left front line politics - the electorate have been abandoned by the very people they voted in support of. I have email evidence of The Electoral Commission's failure to provide independent info.
