I don't get how people can't see how dumb this is in concept though. "A million people want the GE overturned!!!"

Well yes nearly 7 million people voted Tory alone so you can assume that at least 7 million people want the GE overturned. Plus all of the Reform voters, and a smattering of others. "Lots of people didn't want Labour to get into power! Millions of 'em!!" is not news it's... erm... election politics?

Labout got a total vote of 9,708,716

Thus

Until there's a petition that says 9,708,717 want a new GE it's not even worth taking vaguely seriously.

And if 10 million people signed it that still wouldn't even indicate there'd be a different result on a revote.

And that's without accounting for single individuals signing multiple times - since there are no actual checks to make sure that isn't happening - so it almost certainly is to some degree.

"This poll has taken off faster than any we've ever seen!" folks will say. The simple explanation for that is that it's "gone viral". That's all.
