Passed that number would have no choice but to vote on it at least. Even then they'd be pressed to put it to the country. No politician/party is brave enough to ignore that level of support for fear of later electoral backlash.Parliament seems to ignore most petitions to be fair. Location of the voter is logged and there is a link to an interactive map if you want to see where the votes are being cast from. Not expecting it to but it would be interesting to see what reaction the government would have if the number of signatures passed the number who voted leave.
Also to be fair (I haven't signed either petition) I knew about the 'Rovoke' petition, but not the 'No deal' one...wonder if the publicity for each has been the same?Parliament seems to ignore most petitions to be fair.

Argument is Leavers expect Govt to fulfil their stated obligation so not signing.Also to be fair (I haven't signed either petition) I knew about the 'Rovoke' petition, but not the 'No deal' one...wonder if the publicity for each has been the same?

The last time a petition got this many votes they found out that there was a bot voting.Passed that number would have no choice but to vote on it at least.

Gets to around 5m and parties will be paying it lip service whilst still ignoring it.

At least 50% of the population think leaving without a deal is a bad ideaTop-line: just like in Parliament, the public have a much better idea of what they don't want than what they do want.

Certainly shows that people from both sides are either clueless or don't know what they want.
Just as embarrassing as the march to leave oneWho would that be? How do you get to that conclusion? People do know what they want, but there is no majority wanting the same thing. I am waiting for my flight and hope to join a few hundred thousand like minded people for a demonstration tomorrow. I know exactly what I want. Revoke article 50. people’s vote. Remain. Investigate how this happened.

It will achieve nothing
Things in this country aren't decided by marches, they're decided by votes in the ballot box.
How can people decide "what Brexit has achieved" when it hasn't even happened yet?Yes. And that’s why we need a people’s vote on what Brexit has achieved and whether remaining would be the better decision before we take the plunge. Glad to see we agree.

Have it your way. So you don't see at all how what you wrote could be misjudged?
Constantly bad at comprehension? Don't worry. Have had enough of those constantly taking the piss. Won't join in with your questions anymore. Even said what I thought you was up to. Look back. It is all there.

Oh it won't be forgotten. People will remember that the government point blank refused to implement a policy they voted for.With a bit of luck it never will and we can put this awkward episode out of memory

I see the revoke article 50 petition is gathering steam
Petition: Revoke Article 50 and remain in the EU.
In the interest of balance here’s the leave without a deal petition
Petition: Leave the EU without a deal in March 2019.
If you mean Theresa May's so-called deal which would be a Brexit in name only? No.Did they vote for this pile of shit being passed off as Brexit?
If you mean Theresa May's so-called deal which would be a Brexit in name only? No.
If you mean leaving as soon as possible even if it means no deal then ultimately yes.
Let me know when the petition gets passed 17.4 million.
Somehow I doubt it will, even though some people are bragging that they've signed it 10 times.
Oh it won't be forgotten. People will remember that the government point blank refused to implement a policy they voted for.
There you go.
If it gets over 100000 it has to be debated. It isn’t a referendum it is a call to do something. Stop the madness and revoke article 50. May claims to be on „our side“. The reaction shows she is ignored half the population. They won’t take it lying down. How are Farage‘s poor lads on his symbolic march to London getting on?
People had forty-three years to judge what membership of the EU achieved, for the vast majority it was nothing.
whichever side eventually gets its way this won't be forgotten either by the public or within Parliament for a long time.Oh it won't be forgotten. People will remember that the government point blank refused to implement a policy they voted for.

And unfortunately (if Brexit is overturned) we will see scenes and witness acts of stupidity that will sadly make it an even more infamous period in British history. Seldom have the extremes of both sides of an argument been so far apart and in such large numbers.

don't oversimplify it -6 out of 10 Labour constituencies backed a Brexit - just behind 7 out of 10 Conservative.All in the interests of holding the Tory party together and those of a slimy admirer of the 70s National Front.
