Call for a second EU referendum due to misleading campaign lies in the first.

Petition Details

Lies made informed choices less likely. Unlike exaggeration & forecasts (where some variability may be inherent) lies have no factual basis. Among many, 2 prominent were: £350 million/wk paid to EU – to go to the NHS; & Turkey on the cusp of EU admission. Genuine & thorough campaign info was scarce.

Additional Information

An independent body should regulate campaign information (as in commerce, where lies are justifiably banned). Democracy can't exist if voters can't judge the options, & as campaigns may be biased their protest to lies is inadequate. Additional reasons for a 2nd, honest referendum are: no mandate for Brexit's form; nearly half-in-half results; possible UK break-up; many years of negotiation likely; renegotiation of all current world trade deals; less EU trade access; & EU rules we have no say in.
