Revoke A50 petition fastest growing of all time....

[SoloD]

... and just become the biggest on the gov.uk website

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/241584

When I signed yesterday it had 25k, nearly 600k now.

Please sign for all our futures sake

Imagine if it gets to 5 or 10 million

2,138,983 now.

Why does it need to get to 17 million?

Because leadsome made some comment when it reached a million that it didn't compare to the 17.4 million who voted leave. I don't think she realised that her comments would taken by me some people as a call to arms (not literally, obvs).

A bit like the bloke who tweeted last night that 1000signatures in an hour couldn't crash the website, we'd need to try harder. And then it crashed multiple times today

It's been stuck at 2,138,983 for a good 30 minutes now. I'm sure at least one person's signed it in the last half an hour - technical glitch?

Theresa repeatedly pressing some infernal ctrl+ combination most likely.

I really hope that those who weren't able to sign because the site had crashed will still keep on trying to sign. The numbers matter!

2.3m
I think they’ve turned down the regularity of the count updates to stop us all hitting the refresh button and crashing the thing.

I've just signed after not being able to get onto it all day.

This is an interesting map of the demographics of signatures

petitionmap.unboxedconsulting.com/?petition=241584

@mummy2017 I'm far from in an affluent mc university town! I'm the arse end of nowhere in rural west Scotland - plenty of signatures from here! (Relative to our population anyway) I've looked at other places I've lived in the uk (army dad & ex) aside from a year in London (and not a rich part either) NONE of those were affluent mc large student population either - again plenty of votes on the petition from those areas too. Mainly working class, some rural some urban... So no I don't think it's just people who voted remain in the referendum that's signing, I know from my own sm at least a few that voted leave have not only signed it but shared it!

"I'm sceptical of the recent increases - it seems too fast" not really, it's like a reverse pyramid isn't it? A few people see it (petition creators friends & family) those that want to sign & share, that multiplies who's seen/signed and that increases until it reaches a saturation point and everyone who'd want to sign has signed. It's a very hot topic, as it gained following those on sm with bigger followings (those famous for whatever reason from mps to social/political commentators to "celebs") so it was bound to hit a great rate of signatories when it hit "trending" lists etc

Mumsnet has around 4 million unique users per month, which would seem not enough BUT how many people can those 4 million reach? And how many can that second layer of people reach etc?

I've 155 FB friends (I only have people I actually know) and 58 Twitter followers (I'm rarely on it) but there's also very little crossover of my FB friends & Twitter followers

This could be an excellent GCSE maths question

So...if 4 million mn users can reach approx 200 more people and each of those can reach 200 more people... How quickly could over 17 million people be asked to sign the petition?

4m X 200 = 800 million anyway

So it's absolutely doable even if you account for not all mners being remainers (though I think the proportion of Remainers on mn is higher than in the general population? Has there been a poll done on that?) and not all mners friends/family being Remainers.

IF the tech can cope with it. That's what will stuff it - lack of server availability.

"Cliff edge has been moved to 12 April" that official? I've seen nothing of this - just checked BBC news

www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-47660019

So not official. May ignoring this petition basically, but I think we still should press ahead, our mps will see the signatures and hopefully be concerned about losing their seat if they vote for brexit when those likely to vote have signed a petition against it (does that make sense?)

Have any areas that were leave areas got fairly high signatory levels?

Do you live in a leave area with a leave MP? Are you sending a swing?

MN has 4k, NOT 4 million users per month.

Justine Roberts, 2018: now we have 12 million monthly users across the country

So not official. May ignoring this petition basically, but I think we still should press ahead, our mps will see the signatures and hopefully be concerned about losing their seat if they vote for brexit

Only if those people signing it are on the electoral register and of voting age. Unless you are going to run it on that basis i wouldnt expect it to carry much weight.

Dominic Grieve is facing possible de-selection on Monday for voting against his constituency and against Brexit. Hasn't been too much of a concern for him.

We can let our mps know that we vote and we back remain - I certainly have

And yes apparently the 4m was an UNDERestimste rather than over.

4000? Don't be daft! I've seen individual threads with 1000 posts with very few repeat posters!

I've just signed and it's giving the count as 2,232,119 signatures. Don't care what May says about not revoking. She said she wasn't going to call an election in 2017. If the pressure keeps up, someone will have to think the unthinkable.

Want to rewind to a month ago where the total amount of users logged in during a 3 day period was 4k?

Don’t forget not all of those individuals are in the UK.

That figure came from MN. Not made up. They had to report a breach, so had to truthfully report the amount of users who were affected. 4k.

They can report twenty million billion if they like, but the actual users are in the thousands, not the millions.

It's fake and full of bots. Accept the Democratic vote and get on with it instead of throwing your dummy out of the pram

Seriously, Theresa, get some sleep.

the amount of users who were affected. 4k.

I think your answer's kind of there.

bitch I will happily chuck my dummy out, thanks. You want to throw the UK under the bus, that's on you. Revoke would be the sensible option. If you're so bloody sure the petition is full of bots and that noone has changed their mind how they would vote, you won't mind a second referendum will you?

Ok Scarlet, so we should all just sit idly by while the country goes through with a choice that will destroy it.

I give not one fuck about democracy in this case.

Signed!
