77,000 signatures have already been removed.


The irony of this is really quite fantastic

As I said in the other thread, a second referendum is pointless. What's done is done, now's the time for the Brexit voters to be faced with the reality of the situation they've created.

[Cherie]

The petition's website states it was set up by an individual called William Oliver Healey, and says: "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."
Thursday saw a 72.2% turnout, significantly higher than the 66.1% turnout at last year's general election, but below the 75% mark suggested by Mr Healey as a threshold.
In a statement posted on Facebook, a campaigner for the English Democrats party identifying himself as Oliver Healey says he started the petition "when it was looking unlikely that 'leave' were going to win, with the intention of making it harder for 'remain' to further shackle us to the EU".
He says the petition has since been "hijacked by the remain campaign".

You say fight but what you really mean is that you'll sit back while the politicians try to sort out the **** show that the leavers have forced upon them.

You haven't defined 'patriotism' and how those who voted remain don't exhibit patriotism... Are you confusing patriotism with bigotry?

UK population - 64 million
Leave voters - 17 million

You sure that's half the UK? I don't think you're grasping simple maths.

And arithmetic is a branch of mathematics

English people don't have to live in the UK....
Could it be all the ex pats denied their vote?

[Liberty4eva]

Wouldn't it be easier to petition for the government to just ignore the first referendum rather than ask for another? If I was a hardcore Remainer that would be my strategy.

[Glenn.]

What an absolute joke.

[user104658]

A certain percentage of signatures on any petition will be false or illegitimate. This is a non-story.

[joeysteele]

I agree this is pointless but there are now over 3,000,000 signatures on it, so even a few hundred thousand not eligible to be on it is a small number.

Which happens I would guess on most petitions anyway as to always some names there that should not be.

[Crimson Dynamo]

petitions are just the same as inane ramblings on twitter or other yoof social media

they have about as much clout as a wet copy of the radio times

[Rob!]

Still leaving over 2million genuine votes.

I wouldn't play around with generalisations, LT. We could be here all day with everything that could be said about leaver voters.
