Investigate whether misleading claims unfairly influenced the referendum.
There is evidence that the both campaigns made a number of claims which were misleading or factually incorrect.
Before Article 50 is invoked, I would like a public enquiry as to whether the inaccurate information provided to the public unfairly impacted the result of the referendum.
Both campaigns presented many statements not as opinion, but as fact.
There is evidence that in many cases these were inaccurate, incomplete or fabrication. Voters decisions may have been influenced by this incorrect information disseminated by the official campaigns.
The Economic and Social Research Council published a detailed leaflet on the subject: http://tinyurl.com/hjrk2s2
This information was not widely publicised, distributed or supported by Government prior to the 23rd June.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
