Re: Brexit - now we see what it means.
For the record, and Lest We Forget, the current anticipated Brexit Day (11pm on Friday 29.3.2019) is by coincidence DAY 4451.
Re: Brexit - now we see what it means.
Petition HERE to revoke Article 50 is about to top 1 Million signatures.
I'm not convinced it will change anything but it can't do any harm!

Re: Brexit - now we see what it means.
2.45M as of this morning but seems to have slowed a bit. Compare that with the largest Pro-Brexit petition which is sitting just under 400,000 after 5 months - and a large chunk of that was a kick it received yesterday in reaction to the petition above.Dave wrote:Sure Theresa May is on our side...pwrmoore wrote:Petition HERE to revoke Article 50 is about to top 1 Million signatures.

Re: Brexit - now we see what it means.
true. but also almost 8 times the number of people petitioning for Brexit in the largest pro-Brexit petition to date. which observation is more indicative? Obviously you wouldn't expect every voter to respond to a petition lots won't have access or won't have heard of it or just couldn't be bothered as they don't think it will amount to anything. What is your threshold for taking notice?Cap'n Grumpy wrote:Still fourteen and a half million fewer than voted for brexit in the first place.

Yeah but add on the 3.1 million to the 16.1 million who voted remain...Cap'n Grumpy wrote:Still fourteen and a half million fewer than voted for brexit in the first place.

aye, because right enough, those 3.1 million never voted in the first place.Dave wrote:Yeah but add on the 3.1 million to the 16.1 million who voted remain...Cap'n Grumpy wrote:Still fourteen and a half million fewer than voted for brexit in the first place.

Not indicative of those who might wish to leave under other conditions, or those who know (like you first intimated) that the petition won't have any effect anyway.

I don't have a threshold for taking notice - it's immaterial what I think.The revocation of Article 50 "isn't politically doable" without a general election or referendum, the cross-bench peer who wrote the clause has said.
Responding to a petition that passed a million signatures, Lord Kerr of Kinlochard said: "One would have to go back to the people to get authority to do something different from what the people asked for."

It's as illogical as numerically comparing an online petition to the result of a nationwide referendum.Cap'n Grumpy wrote:aye, because right enough, those 3.1 million never voted in the first place.Dave wrote:Yeah but add on the 3.1 million to the 16.1 million who voted remain...Cap'n Grumpy wrote:Still fourteen and a half million fewer than voted for brexit in the first place.

What percentage of the population was 17million? Hardly the will of the people that we keep getting rammed down our throats.

Re: Brexit - now we see what it means.
It is estimated that up to 3/4 million Brexit voters have died since the refendum and about 2.5 million new voters have registered so the 17.4:16.1 ratio is well out of date.
Volunteer at an animal sanctuary; it will fill you with joy , despair, but most of all love, unconditional love of the animals.
