It seems that the petition was started by a leave campaigner thinking that remain would win..

I blame Boaty McBoatface He started all this
Pearcey3: Sorry, of course I knew that! I suppose I was just putting things into perspective in my own locality i.e. that I was not in a minority "round by 'ere". It was strange watching the results come in through the early hours of Friday as I had to keep reminding myself that it was the total number of votes that mattered, not the number of districts that kept turning blue on Jeremy Vines famous charts. I was nervous that the big city votes could skew the whole thing but as it turned out these were insufficient to do that.
7 in 10 labour voters went for brexit
Is that true?
John McDonnell has been saying this morning that 7 out of 10 Labour voters backed remain.
I don't know if that is true either (doubt it) but in any case how can anyone know.
If the pre-vote opinion polls are the source of these claims they are almost certainly wrong.
I don think it can be true. Given all the support UKIP have these days and that around half of Tories voted for exit. I suspect 7 in 10 voted to stay in but turnout was down. Having said that 7 in 10 of Labour voters in Sunderland and Hartlepool probably did vote for Brexit.

Here's the breakdown for the largest parties. I stress this is an opinion poll as there's no record of how various party supporters actually voted of course.

Up to 3.27 million now, pretty crazy

Here's a petition that has a better chance of being recognised. When there is such a reliance on slogans over policies we should make sure that those slogans are based in fact.
In healthcare the most common way of making decisions is to use what's called a "QALY". It stands for "Quality Adjusted Life Index/Years". Suppose two candidates are available for a liver transplant: an 8 year old and a 68 year old. Further assume both will drop dead at 80. The QALY for the two candidates would be heavily weighted in favour of the 8 year old because they have potentially 72 years of life to live post transplant. I'm sure you get it. Now look at the Ashcroft poll. The majority of under 44 year olds voted for Remain and they would have more weight in a "RALY" (Referendum Adjusted Life Index/Years). What do you think? I'm sure you'll think OMOV is the way but the RALY seems way fairer to me.
My sister in law is currently recovering from a double transplant, liver and kidney, the Liver she received was split, a piece for her , she is above 60 but below 70, the other piece was given to a young child, i'm not disputing any stats or figures just saying what happened in her case, obviously we do not know how the child is doing, but my sister in law's body has coped with the liver but has struggled with the kidney.
Apparently the petition has been hijacked by Remain supporters!
Outrageous way to treat a sensible petition set up a month ago (by a pro-Leave member of the English Democrats) at a time when it looked as if Remain would win. Clearly if the polls were right and remain won with a vote in the low 50%s it would be too close to be a proper mandate and a second referendum would be needed. Who could argue with that? Any objection to that must be, as Goslow keeps posting, SOUR GRAPES.
