Apologies if this has already been linked, but just in case it hasn't, there is a petition to Revoke Article 50 and remain in the EU if anyone is interested. Currently on 52k.

And finally managed to sign and share.

Dark and stormy the problem is, cross party talks should have triggered the moment the vote went leave.

There's no real party left now bar the Tories. Labour has spilt. Lib Dems did offer another referendum in last election but no one voted for them.

There's simply no way this parliament could be trusted too pull together to do anything.

Can’t believe it’s at 2.2m

It’s giving me hope, but I probably shouldn’t get ahead of myself, the tories will put themselves first, sod the rest.

Daisychainsandglitter · 22/03/2019 07:46

Please keep signing and sharing!

WillGymForPizza · 22/03/2019 07:49

I've signe. Not sure if it will do any good, but it's worth a try. Anything is to get us out of this mess.

TheSultanofPingu · 22/03/2019 09:09

Almost 2.7m now.

Have any of you emailed your MP? Am trying to compose something that sounds less ranty and petulant than the howls words in my head Grin

If so, did anyone get a response?

There's a flurry of signatures each time they report it on the news

itsbetterwithoutyou · 22/03/2019 11:36

Is it possible for someone who is not eligible (ie underage or living abroad and not having a uk address) to vote being able to sign this petition?

Takeittotheboss · 22/03/2019 11:39

Unfortunately my MP is Loathsome, and a response from her is like TMay's speech on steriods, so sure is she that she's in the right and everyone is behind her on the way to Brexit glory lands.

KeptTheBeachesShipwreckFree · 22/03/2019 11:42

I emailed my MP (Trickett) and heard nothing. I live in a very pro-brexit area though unfortunately.

FrancesFryer · 22/03/2019 12:01

It is yes but they are filtered out when the petition closes.

IAimToMisbehave · 22/03/2019 12:44

My MP is anti-EU Angry but I've written anyway. I didn't want him to think we're all deluded brexiteers round here.

Also.... 3m!!! GrinGrin

@itsbetterwithoutyou The requirements I saw were either uk resident or uk citizen nothing about eligibility to vote.

nikkylou · 22/03/2019 13:01

Wow! 3m!?
I've signed.
I feel at bit surrounded by Brexiteers here though. Well some, and then people who think it would be unfair to hold another referendum.
I fail to see how over 2 years on, and given the mess that's been created that it would be unfair to canvas the public opinion, and determine if their feelings have changed.
All referendum would do is say: a) the public want to change their minds, let's cancel this sorry show or
B) the public have made clear they still want to proceed lets stop this shit show and in fighting and work together to provide the will of people.

Really though it's probably gonna be c) the public still want to proceed but we can't stop this shit show long enough to actually get a good deal so everyone is gonna regret it.

Or d) Well cancel this affair but the EU aren't really gonna trust us much any more so we're gonna have less value out of the EU .

It has just been mentioned on the news as well.

ADarkandStormyKnight · 22/03/2019 13:16

Theresa is saying she won't consider it - that woman really pisses me off! Parliament HAS to consider it. It's not her call. She just proves time and time again that she doesn't listen.

I think this petition needs some lateral thinking on it......maybe put out physical/virtual posters to local community noticeboards telling people about it, as not all are on social media like Facebook and Twitter. Younger people tend to be on other types of social media. Older people maybe a more direct, personal level ncluding good old fashioned village notice boards.
