6 million and still rising . . . Time to revoke?

[longwayoff]

O please lets do that. Revoke, rethink and re- refer.

It's 6 million signatures not 6 million eligible voters. I have friends boasting how they have used multiple email addresses to sign this. As a remainer it makes me cringe to hear so many politicians, People's Vote leaders etc cite this poll as evidence that the 'will of the people' is now to revoke. They are not fooling anyone other than those desperate to believe it and are as dishonest as those saying no deal will be great. A lack of honesty and proper scrutiny is how we got into this bloody mess in the first place.

Funny that the news that Vote Leave dropped its appeal against the Electoral Commission slipped out on the 29th March. That was a good and loud day to bury this kind of news.

Of course you could use your cat's name when signing the petition if you were so inclined. But each email address can only be used once. You may attempt to use it more than once but you will receive an email telling you that subsequent signings will not be counted.

So you just st up another email address for the cat. It barely takes a minute. You could sign on behalf of all the birds in your garden too, using your own post code.

It's not surprising the petition isn't having the impact many think it should have. It's worthless.

Vote Leave are guilty of electoral fraud. You call that 'democracy'

Really?

Thanks for the advice but you're assuming people aren't already doing things aside from 'hurling' posts on MN.

I wouldn’t endorse a recommendation to “bang on your MPs doors” - but I think a lot of people are writing to their MPs etc. I know I am. Not had the courtesy of a response, naturally

Lol. I tested the petition and signed using a 10 minute disposable email address so anybody can vote and can vote multiple times!

Then don't let it occupy so much headspace.

Ah yes. Doing “other things”

Doesn’t really have the feel of a revolution does it?

Brain of Britain right here.

So you are advocating violence to overturn the referendum result?
Not on board with that, I’m afraid.

It’ll hit 17 million. Of course it will. There may be a number of reasons to revoke, but this sham of a petition shouldn’t be it.

I don't know how many letters I've written to how many politicians. I'm doing my bit and I'm doing what I'm comfortable with. So sorry I'm not out there banging on doors (fow what end exactly?) and staging one woman protests.

So six million people feel strongly enough to sign a petition asking the gov't to revoke article 50.

How many in total have signed the various petitions with Brexit means Brexit messages?

It’s leavers who want a revolution. The rest of us want the status quo. At least we know what we want and what we’d be getting.

Why not Donald? Do you think it might hurt their feelings. You people are furiously posting on an inconsequential website about the voice of the people. Was there ever a lamer protest?

Fact is, we either won't be leaving the EU at all, or if we do, in the softest possible way.

JRM has turned, The Sun is turning.

You can 'Yeh, but/no, but' all you like. We have a Remain government because they all know how stupid pulling out of the EU would be, how catastrophic for many of their harder-of-thinking constituents.

If you are a rabid No Dealer, your best bet is to understand that battle has been lost, limp off and lick your wounds, and prepare a better, more plausible campaign next time; one that convinces a Supermajority of a motivated, educated electorate.

Oh, and see if you can manage to keep it legal this time, eh? 😉

No of course, I quite see how breaking the law and committing acts of violence would make my position much more credible.
Are you pissed?

At the moment we are Brexiting, Goldmandra, no need to do anything. Should that change I imagine there will be a hell of a lot of signing stuff,.

What’s breaking the law about banging on a door? You can see I didn’t say burn the building down can’t you, silly billy? But you crack on with your letter writing.

At the moment I’m closer to thinking Brexit won’t happen than at any time since 2016.
May won’t drive off the no deal cliff. Those who might say they want to make her have already shown they are pissy cowards with no stomach for the real job. It’ll be decent until EU says no more, then revoke.
Possibly.

Not pissed, just daft, which is, sadly for you, less easily cured.

Oh Donald really. You’ll be telling your mum on me next.

Really?

Yes, Hazelnut. Really. You think it's fine that Vote Leave broke the law to swing the vote?

Forcing us to stay in the EU is just exposing how little democracy we have left in this country. As the EU always does it makes countries vote again and again until they do what they are told.
