Britain's Electoral laws need to be overhauled to address 21stC issues.
This petition requests that Parliament commissions a study into the threats posed by misinformation about the issues to be balloted and the activities of agencies employed by or donating their services to any campaign group and then responds to those threats by enacting appropriate legislation.

From a Guardian report
"An LSE report concluded UK’s electoral laws were “weak and helpless” in the face of new forms of digital campaigning.”.
