Thread: Second referendum past 100k

  1. #1

    Second referendum past 100k

    https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/131215


    The 48% of voters who wished to Remain in the European Union are so mortified by the Leave result that a parliamentary petition calling for a second referendum has been set up.

    ‘We the undersigned call upon HM Government to implement a rule that if the remain or leave vote is less than 60% based on a turnout less than 75% there should be another referendum,’ the petition, filed this morning, reads.

    At the time of writing, the petition is difficult to access, presumably due to a surge of traffic. The count is at 55,000 right now and climbing at roughly a thousand signatures a minute.

    All petitions to the site that receive over 100,000 signatures must be considered for debate in Parliament by law, as was the case with the cannabis legalisation one.

    Update 9:04am: petition.parliament.uk completely inaccessible.

    Update 11:54am: The 100,000 threshhold is passed, with 101,526 signees.

    How many referenda would it take before we got to a 60-40 split? We'd be voting forever!!

    Farage himself is all for it - or he was a month ago:
    http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...rendum-7985017

    He was all for using the EU money for NHS and then boom , victory , not now ,as he know admits that it was a "mistake" to promise that £350 million a week would be spent on the NHS if the UK backed a Brexit vote. Speaking just an hour after the Leave vote

    As much as I am unhappy with last night's result - this is just not democracy. You can't set up a petition just because you don't like the result. I'm sure if the result was 52-48 in the other direction, then people who want to leave would have set up the same petition. That's how daft this petition nonsense has become.

    The petition should have been raised BEFORE the election - about 3 months ago. People SHOULD have asked their MPs the question. People on both sides would have agreed (considering they both thought they could lose) to have the majority rule changed.

    More people want to leave than to remain - I would love us to remain. However, that isn't democratic.

    I think the only people who could "complain" would be those who voted to leave but now realise that they may have voted on mis-information on NHS spending.

    Exactly. I like the petition idea (in general), but now people are creating petitions for all sorts of nonsense. This one is nonsense too - the only legitimate petition now would be to ask for the NHS to get the promised £350m per day. Some people voted purely for that.

    I agree. Some people were duped to vote leave though, but some were duped to vote remain. Negative campaigns bring negative results - politicians still don't get that do they?

    No, they won against all odds. They defied threats, scare tactics and pro EU propaganda from the BBC. They turned their backs on "advice" the mega rich, who don't live in, or pay taxes to the EU. If Banson, Beckham ETC love the EU so much, let them lobby the governments of Monaco, The Cayman Islands et al, to join the EU.
