Just checked back in and I'm glad a few more pps have signed it . As to the naysayer- leave voter comments. I'll just share a personal story that I remember when faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges.
My great-great grandfather was a vicar in Berkshire around the turn of the 19th century. He was a very decent and popular man by all accounts, he was also a prolific diary writer and most of us, his descendants have had the opportunity to read his diaries. I got to read some of them as a teenager and the subject that always sticks in my mind the most were his opinions on the women's suffrage movement. He was absolutely appalled by it, the idea of women having the vote seemed against all God's intentions, he was certain that it wouldn't possibly be successful and would just cause upset and family upheaval because he firmly believed that women were not equipped to be able to handle a duty like voting, we couldn't intellectually understand the issues and our temperaments were not suited for such unnecessary responsibilities. He thought the members of the WSPU (Women's Social & Political Union) were dangerous fanatics... Throughout his diaries and in his remarks on the movement is the one consistent theme- women's suffrage could never possibly succeed. I imagine many (men and women maybe) shared his views on suffrage back then. So yes, this petition may seem ridiculous and subject to sneering by leave voters but I choose to have hope!
