Stop describing Brexit as "the biggest democratic exercise in history"
Government repeats this endlessly despite it not being true. The 1992 general election had a higher absolute turnout and numerous elections have had higher percentage turnouts. This is a matter of record. The government has a duty not to mislead the electorate.
This piece of misleading propaganda has been used throughout the Brexit process to very damaging effect. It has been deployed to make the EU referendum appear to be a uniquely significant democratic event and hence unassailable.
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:
It's not the Government's or Parliament's responsibility to decide how people describe Brexit.
