Let me get this right. Are these Remain petition signers wanting a new rule for a "do over"?

 

[Manonthestreet]

Even if all the losers signed the petition it means nothing........not impressive at all except on the whine scale

I don't care which way they go, but it actually seems reasonable to have such an enormously important vote reach 60% majority. It does still have to be voted on by Parliament to be official, so there's hope for those who didn't get their way the first time.

Send the idiot democrats over to teach them how to have a sit in. Tell them to pack extra diapers and pacifiers.

Foreigners intended to outvote the native British.

We have the same thing here. That's why democrats are shoveling foreigners in as fast as they can.

When you really get down to it, Britain truly has suffered under the EU. This "Leave" passion has been a long time coming about. What is so stunning is the Brit politicians who have been tone deaf for so long to their constituents.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

There isn't going to be a do over. It's done

 

[Ame®icano]

Why this thread again?

Why not consider the opinion of what the press calls "an expert"?

Expert says there will not be new EU referendum despite 2.6m signing petition


Some extracts from the article:

"A petition signed by more than 2.6 million people calling for a new EU referendum has no chance of reversing this week's historic vote to leave, Britain's foremost elections expert has said. Professor John Curtice, whose exit poll was the only one to predict the Conservatives would win last year's general election, said the referendum was so divisive within mainstream political parties and their supporters that it would be unlikely to form a campaigning issue for some time - let alone spark another public vote:

"Prof Curtice told the Press Association: " It's no good people signing the petition now, they should have done it before. Even then, these petitions don't always mean a great deal. "It has passed the 100,000 mark for it to be debated in Parliament. All that means is that some MPs will say, 'It's a terrible shame', others will say, 'Hallelujah'. Then that's the end of it."

"Less well-supported petitions on the Change.org website include a"...(lengthy list abbreviated …….."calls for Leave firebrand Nigel Farage to be knighted, and another entitled: "Stop all petitions trying to make us hold another referendum."


Love that last one: "Stop all petitions trying to make us hold another referendum."

The Petition is fraudulent...4Chan slimed them.


Hackers in online chatroom 4Chan have even been boasting about their part in the 'prank'.

If true, the discovery is bound to raise serious concerns about the government's cyber-security, while potentially undermining the legitimacy of future petitions.

Either way, people purportedly living in countries left behind by the vote also appear to have added their name to the petition in significant numbers.

They included 18,734 signatures from France, 11,816 from Spain, 7,031 from Germany, 3,139 from the Netherlands and 2,492 Italians and 4,122 residents of Gibraltar – which came out strongly in favour of Remain in Wednesday's momentous poll.

Some 2,326 Swiss-based supporters backed a second referendum on EU membership, as did 279 residents of Turkey, 3,746 in New Zealand and 11,971 in Australia.

Support was less pronounced in Western Sahara (3) Mongolia (3), Somalia (4), Guatemala (4) and French Polynesia (6)

And the data reveled solitary Remain supporters in such far-flung locales as Bhutan, Burundi, Cape Verde, Chad, Djibouti, Eritrea, Guyana, Niger, the Marshall Islands and Mauritania....

Second referendum petition: Inquiry removes at least 77,000 fake signatures, as hackers claim responsibility for 'prank'

Let me get this right. Are these Remain petition signers wanting a new rule for a "do over"?

Yes.
Surprised that hasn't caught on here.

We're going to see something like that in November when sore losers start calling for new elections.
