Brexit: Stop using ‘will of the people’ and ‘will of the British people.’

Petition Details

Government ministers are perpetrating a falsehood when advancing its affairs as ‘the will of the people’ or ‘the will of the British people’; taking its authority to use these expressions from the result of the EU advisory referendum of June 2016.

Total electorate: 46,500,001
Voted Leave : 17,410,742
Voted Remain: 16,141,241
