Signed. Thank you for posting.
Take the long view. Co-operation is the right side of history.

MongerTruffle · 28/01/2018 15:28

I have signed already.
There is a separate board for petitions though.

Feelitstill · 28/01/2018 15:32

Not this again Hmm

Kingsclerelass · 28/01/2018 15:36

Completely unreasonable. We've all voted already.

thecatneuterer · 28/01/2018 15:41

Signed.

ChelleDawg2020 · 28/01/2018 15:44

I think there will be another referendum, if only because all the main politicians insist there won't be one.

Amanduh · 28/01/2018 15:47

Good joke.

Nope.

WEll, at least it isn't a trans thread!

gamerchick · 28/01/2018 16:08

Give it time...

incorruptibledream · 28/01/2018 17:00

Is it the will of the people if the will of the people is something else by the time the changes are made?
A second referendum would obviously reflect a remain result. Then the will has changed and we can all knock this nonsense on the head.

specialsubject · 28/01/2018 17:24

The government have responded with a 'no'

Online petitions never change anything. Despite trump, in this country government is not done by farting about on social media. Fortunately.

CrochetBelle · 28/01/2018 17:26

Argh.

We live in a democracy. We had the option to vote and the results were collated. Some may not agree with the outcome, but that's the way a referendum goes.

onalongsabbatical · 28/01/2018 17:50

We live in a democracy. We have the right to continue to object, as, indeed, Mr Farage did, endlessly. Those of us who believe in the EU as a force for good, and peace, and progress, are not shutting up and not going away. Get used to us.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 28/01/2018 18:02

Used to you for the next year. Or as a force forever after we've left?

CrochetBelle · 28/01/2018 18:02

sabbatical don't be presumptuous... not all 'remain' voters are shouting loudly. It's not a 'them and us' situation.

Commuterface · 28/01/2018 18:02

What about it's my children's future not to be part of the EU? Why are people like you so intent on not allowing them to grow up out of the EU - which I deem to be damaging to the country?

Feelitstill · 28/01/2018 18:03

Then you need a proper political party like ukip. An extremely popular charismatic leader, and be prepared to wait about 40 years. If the EU is even still around then.
That’s your only option. All these online petitions are just silly & get you nowhere.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 28/01/2018 18:08

Good point commuter

FuzzyCustard · 28/01/2018 18:10

How about we all work really hard to make Brexit as good as it can be, in a united way?

A4Document · 28/01/2018 18:14

"A second referendum would obviously reflect a remain result. Then the will has changed and we can all knock this nonsense on the head"

And once people realise they don't want to be part of a superstate which was supposedly just "scaremongering", and that they preferred being able to vote out leaders they didn't like, and when they see what the EU looks like in a few years, which isn't the "status quo" after all, and discover Tony Blair is its new president, and realise that Britain was already a peaceful country before the EU existed, perhaps they'll be clamouring to leave again.

DawnMumsnet · 28/01/2018 18:15

Afternoon all,

We're moving this thread over to our Petitions topic now - we don't really allow petitions on the main Talk boards.

UpstartCrow · 28/01/2018 18:16

We're trying Fuzzy but theres no trade or customs agreements, and business can't just stop and wait for politicians to catch up and do their job.

"How about we all work really hard to make Brexit as good as it can be, in a united way?"

Fuzzy well said.
