REGREXIT reaches Three Million Signatires

Skeptic

I would expect it to reach at least 8 million. That's about half of the people that voted to stay in the first place. These are new votes for the stay movement. Just the same people letting their voices be heard.

REGREXIT gets even funnier.

Turns out the second referendum was started prior to the first by a guy who was afraid Leave would lose.

He's not very happy about the petition now reaching three million signatures, it seems.

Secret ballot boxes help. Where was it California, 3 million ballots couldn't be accounted for? They lost dem boxes.

Why would you call Farage a name? He believes in the same mess you do, basically.

Dumb.

Only in the bizarro tard world do tards think they can vote over and over until they get the outcome they want.

I think the British woke up to a harsh economic reality that was not presented to them pre-referendum, too.

Farage thought a second referendum was a good idea if his side lost.

Seems fair to say it's a good idea both ways.

The vote legally means nothing. Under the parliamentary style of Britain the parliament does not have to honor the vote nor do the will of the people. The vote was nothing more than a gauge of the people.

The parliament will most likely follow through with the will of the people to keep from committing political suicide in the next parliamentary elections.

With a population of 65 + million and add another 100.000 immigrants by 2017 3 million signatures is kinda small. Britain just didn't want too be a dumping ground like the US.

People have to get out and vote.

Could Britian still vote to leave the EU? Absolutley. But I wonder if the original vote truly represented the will of the people. I've never seen such an instant case of country-wide regret after a vote.

The Remorse Voters now outnumber the difference between leave or remain. I don't think that is insignificant at all

Interesting bit of info concerning the possibility of a second referendum.

The petition will also come as unwelcome news for Nigel Farage, the anti-EU leader of the UK Independence Party. But he doesn't have much cause to complain, given he said in May that a 52-48 win for the Remain side would be such a narrow margin that he'd fight for a second referendum to be held.

Have a great day, Sparklin! Remember to let Britian know what's significant and what isn't.

I'll leave you to have the last words on these threads, shoulda.

Peace.

Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!

Looks like leaving the EU is leaving a country-sized hangover. Too little, too late?

When will Drumpf claim he never supported Britain leaving? Gotta be pretty soon. Then Sparklin Waterboy will follow suit.

They certainly ignored your sage advice on running their government.

I believe Tuesday is the day Britian will consider the "insignificant" petition.

They must not have gotten your memo on how to run their country, Sparklin! Send it again!

Uh, oh! Now he hates petitions!

Take that, Democracy!

Sparklin

Posted 9:29 am, 06/26/2016

Signatures on a petition are not votes.

So, yes, they are insignificant.

Idiot

Uh, oh! The votes of three million Britians is insignificant!

Sparklin doesn't seem to like the Democratic process very much at all.
