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!!

Re: Second referendum past 100k
Load of tosh, the out people could start a petition saying don't listen to those
Remainers because they're just a load of bad losers

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.

Stop chatting shit......i was in Italy 2 weeks ago and got 1.25 euro to the pound, today its 1.23 i don't know how much you withdraw from the ATM but it ain't gonna make much difference unless you draw a couple of hundred grand.

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.

Absolutely.
Maybe a better petition would be that no single political party could form a government unless it received 51% of the votes in a 80% turnout.

Re: Second referendum past 100k
Over a million now
From Disney "frozen"
Let it go let it go
Turn away and slam the door
I don't care
what they're going to say
Let the storm rage on.
The cold never bothered me anyway3
It's funny how some distance
Makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me
Can't get to me at all
It's time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me,
I'm free!

Re: Second referendum past 100k
Don't know about a 2 nd poll now, but given it'll take 2 years to prepare the exit then maybe it would be sensible to give people a 2 nd chance to vote nearer that date ?
Then we would all be better informed and the consequences ( or benefits) of exit would be clearer .
Makes sense to me, however I'm not sure of the legality or political will around this.

Re: Second referendum past 100k
Why can't we have a second general elections if we don't like the results of the first?
While we are at it, can we start to petition to replay the FA Cup Final against Liverpool, as I don't agree with the result.

We've never played Liverpool in the FA Cup Final.

The problem is the negotiation period towards the exit will be destabilizing for all concerned. It's better to have any 2nd referendum as quickly as possible if there was going to be one.

And which will mean that the Brexiteers would represent even a bigger proportion of the electorate in Rump UK.

Well I voted knowing that this was a vote for remaining or leaving, and that the majority would win. Whether that majority was 1, 10, a million or 20 million was not in question. The vote was not the result I wanted, but that's how democracy works. We can't start asking for a second referendum can we? If people were concerned about a slim majority they should have petitioned back in March.

That makes sense to me because then people will have more of an idea about what they are voting for. I am totally against this current petition though as it is sour grapes.
