Surely nobody seriously thought this petition would return a realistic figure with the total representing only people entitled to vote in a UK referendum and who had signed only once?!! I see on another forum someone's even had their dog sign it and frankly the credibility of the whole exercise is shot to pieces! Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a lot of people have signed it in all sincerity but the process is clearly wide open to manipulation and abuse and was therefore never likely to provide an accurate figure. As has been said earlier, I think we all know there's a lot of people who want to Remain in the EU and would jump at any opportunity to make that so - I don't think we needed a petition to tell us that....

The idea this is a petition with any credibility is frankly laughable; fake poll would surely be a far more accurate description..... |

But I think it suits parliament to have a petition process up for abuse so that it can be discredited on anything. They could have a system that used something else for identity verification that would virtually guarantee one person, one vote. But they choose not to.

It's the easiest solution. The EU have said it's an option open to us. We still won't do it. But there are plenty of other (less popular) protests the other way about making sure we still leave. |

No deal and just leave. Leave with a customs union. Norway. Norway plus. Canada plus. Leave the bureaucracy but keep a permanent customs union. No more immigrants in my town please. At least remain only meant one thing, stay in the EU. 16 million for that, and 5 million at most for each individual version of Leave. That's why the leave voices are getting quieter and quieter, because they're all campaigning for different things. And the remain voices are getting louder, because they want something very straight forward to get behind. |

I’m a very moderate person and readily appreciate the complexities and passage of time will mean people may have changed their mind - both ways. Unfortunately that isn’t enough for me to argue/want for a 2nd ref. It should never have gone to a referendum in the first place but hey, the idiot MPs let the genie out of the bottle. It’ll be more catastrophic to risk putting it back than it will be to leave. My view of course - not yours!

To add to this point, I would support a 2nd ref if the options on the ballot were Treaty A, B, C or no treaty. But even if that was a proposal, considering the length of time needed to hold a 2nd ref we’ll all be thoroughly fkd off!!

I would support waking up in the shower like it has all been a bad dream, Bobby Ewing style, especially if a young Victoria Principle was in there...

They thought, stupidly, that the public would put idiots like Farage and Johnson back in their boxes, permanently. Not for one minute did they assume that 17.4 million people would decide to ignore the obvious. Personally I blame the internet. You can think you're an expert in anything in 30 seconds flat, so people chose to ignore those that actually are. Let Brexit make our country great again We were the envy of Spain, Italy and Holland for about 4 minutes after the result. Then the idiocy began. Showing no signs of stopping now. |

Maybe the government should invest funds into research for a pen like the one in Men in Black. Zap the whole country, bar a few politicians who need to remember so we don't do anything as stupid again. |
