Brexit: CPS considers complaint that leave campaigns misled voters

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/nov/07/brexit-cps-considers-complaint-that-leave-campaigns-misled-voters


This article is about a letter that has been received that the CPS is considering, this letter complains about the integrity of Brexit and how leave voters were misled and even lied to, some of these lies included the 350 million that went to the EU that didn't exist, and Turkey joining the EU. The article also explains that under a recent law, misleading like this is a corrupt practice. The guardian would obviously agree that the motives behind people voting to leave were incorrect as the Guardian is a left wing newspaper, which would have made it want to stay on the remain campaign.


In my opinion I do agree that the issues with the leave campaign and their flat out lies such as the 350 million should be greatly considered. It is important to realize that the Brexit vote was an advisory vote, and therefore not official. With nothing being signed there is still a way to get it right. In a perfect world the Brexit vote would be done again but this time the campaigning would be based on truths rather than fabricated lies.
