I thought they might be the most recently updated ones, fish.

Apileofballyhoo · 25/03/2019 17:36

Oh thanks Mistigri.

If you look at the percentage votes, Scotland doesn't look quite as low. There are no areas in the lowest (

Another reason is that we feel completely abandoned by UK democracy and Westminster.

Sounds like a few determined northern Irish remainers could make a big difference to the number of people in NI on the petition.

It hit 5 million yesterday at about 2.15, but as of now we're only on 5.56 million, things have slowed down massively. This website gives a live, as it happens, total

Then must we part?
And oh, if we ever part, then that might break my heart

So if you like πιζάμες and I like pyjamas
I'll wear pizsama and give up pyjamas
For we know we need each other so we
Better call the whole thing off

But are the bananas bendy?

Dunno, they're not rotten before they reach the shelf and there are enough to go round.

BlackeyedGruesome · 26/03/2019 00:48

Bananas do not make good boomerangs. They do however bounce about three foot high and five feet distance if flung with enough velocity.

Two autistic children and the banana.

More data on the "live from brexit" page shows 5 constituencies have more signatures than GE2017 votes. Keep it up (I love geeking out at datasets).

Apileofballyhoo · 26/03/2019 07:55

The rate is very slow this morning. Maybe it'll pick up again.

Mistigri · 26/03/2019 08:59

5 constituencies have more signatures than GE2017 votes

This is very badly worded (by the website). It can only mean that 5 constituencies have more votes than the 2017 election winner received, not the total number of votes in that constituency.

ReleaseTheBats · 26/03/2019 09:24

Why Mistigri? As children and other people not eligible to vote are signing, more people could have signed than GE2017 votes.

Mistigri · 26/03/2019 09:29

@ReleaseTheBats if you look at the dataset (www.livefrombrexit.com/petitions/241584) it's just not possible.

Look at the numbers: eg Edinburgh north, electorate 79k, petitioners 26k. Unless the turnout in Edinburgh at GE17 was less than 33% then it is not possible that petitioners exceed voters. It is much more likely that petitioners exceed the number of voters for the sitting MP but the legend is badly worded so it's not possible to be sure.

ReleaseTheBats · 26/03/2019 09:41

Mistigri I see what you mean now.

InMySpareTime · 26/03/2019 09:41

It is the number of votes for the sitting MP, based on data from the parliament website. MPs should really take notice if they are voting at odds with their constituents on this matter though, in many constituencies there are easily the numbers to oust them next time round.
