Brexit Mark11
Jun 25^th, 2016 at 8:40pm

More than one million people have signed a petition in the United Kingdom calling for a second EU referendum.

Britain yesterday voted to break out of the European Union, in a thunderous decision that sent shockwaves across Europe and the rest of the world.

The final result showed 17.4 million people voted Leave, while 16.1 million people voted Remain.

The petition was created by William Oliver Healey and calls for the "Government to implement a rule that if the remain or leave vote is less than 60 per cent based [on] a turnout less than 75 per cent, there should be another referendum".

It gave a deadline of November 25, 2016, but just one day after the shock result, it has attracted more than 1,025,319 signatures.

At one point, the website crashed due to the surge of people adding their names.

The UK Government responds to all petitions that get more than 10,000 signatures and their Parliament considers all petitions that get more than 100,000.

A map showing the distribution of the signatures shows a strong response from residents in London and surrounding constituencies.

The reason why I moved on from this forum 12 months ago was because it fnaly dawned on me that I was talking to the insane...Thank God and thank the English ( not the British) that yet again they are the first to get this world back to reality..hopefully Donald and America will join us soon...

Sounds like sour grapes from the

lefties who cannot accept they lost

.

Only those who can't see beyond next weekend.

I'm supposedly a leftie, and I think it's a great result.

Not, perhaps, in the short term.

But in the medium to long term, the UK can't lose, provided
they can get a decent non-Tory government into power.

Scotland exits and all those Labour MPs are gone.

This will cements the Right's grip.
