This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition Respond specifically to the ‘broken electoral laws’ issue on petition 223729
The government’s response to the petition “Rescind Art.50 if Vote Leave has broken Electoral Laws regarding 2016 referendum” failed to address the concern about unlawful campaigning conduct.
There is no mention of it in the response. As such, the response is irrelevant and insufficient.
More details
The government’s ‘cut and paste’ response to this petition is insulting and undemocratic.
