I actually burst out laughing at this Wander. A good analogy.wanderlust wrote:Specific like blokes voting to have a dick that reaches the ground? Happy to vote for it, not so happy when they were booked in for the operation to have their legs amputated.gloswhite wrote:What a stupid comment. The specific outcome was to leave the EU.

We didn't vote for what deal we wanted, we voted to either stay in or come out. Seems pretty specific to me.
(but you're still wrong)

Make of that what you will.
So this pro-leave petition has floundered with less than 8% of those who voted to leave in the referendum reaffirming their desire to still leave.
Obviously government petitions only give a flavour of the feeling of the electorate for a variety of reasons including awareness, access to the internet and diffusion of responsibility. They certainly don't come anywhere near getting the level of participation of an election or referendum.
Which is why the "cancel article 50" petition is so surprising.
It's become the most popular petition to ever have been submitted on the UK Parliament's website - and historians say it is the biggest ever petition to parliament in history.
Ok it's only a petition, but I suspect it has influenced last night's vote. Even Heseltine has said that on the radio this morning that in the light of what's happened, a people's vote is the only way to sort it out.

Left wingers are always more likely to be drawn to this kind of thing. Marches, protests, strikes, petitions.
It really shows nothing apart from millions of people still want to remain.

There have been a lot of firsts in this process, no point picking on what seems to support your own way of thinking, we already know what you want

It is the biggest petition ever. I was talking about the nature of petitions not elections or referenda which are a completely different process.
The highest electoral turnout was in 1950 when 89.3% of registered voters turned out and Attlee whupped Churchill.
This is the highest ever petition signing.

The e-petition (which allowed vastly wider access for people to add their names to a petition than was previously possible), of which this is, as only been going for just over 12 years - so although it sounds good 'biggest ever' it has hardly got a lot to beat to get there.

"Burn the bitch"?
I absolutely guarantee that if wanderlust had written that he'd be getting a time out.
Do the right thing and ban yourself.
