A vote of no confidence in the Brexit result, a campaign based on misinformation
Voters were provided with misinformation and made it difficult to make an informed decision. Much of the Remain campaign claims are transpiring. The Brexit side appear to have based their case on misinformation on emotive issues such as controlling immigration and significant investment in the NHS.
Leaders of the Brexit campaign are backtracking on pre-referendum promises/claims e.g. £530 million per week will not be going into the NHS, we will still have free movement of the workforce in the EU, and we will still be paying into the EU to be part of the free market.
It is apparent that many people who voted Brexit did so as a protest vote against austerity.
Evidence for above is freely available in the press.
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:
We can't accept this petition because it asks for something that neither the House of Commons nor the Government can do. The expression "vote of no confidence" is used when talking about a vote in the House of Commons which tests whether or not the Government of the day has the confidence of a majority of MPs in the House of Commons. That's why we allow petitions asking for a vote of no confidence in the Government or in individual Ministers.
The concept of the House having “confidence” in someone does not apply to the referendum result.
