Rejected petition Convene a judicial inquiry into breaches of electoral law in the EU Referendum.

Should the referendum result be considered safe when viewed against reasonable democratic standards? Does the need to preserve such standards require it to be annulled? An urgent and independent inquiry is needed to determine these issues so fundamental to the future of British democracy.
