Brexit was won on a massive turnout of over 17million. The vote to overturn it reached 5.8million. This Government was elected on around 9million votes, this petition could easily overtake that with the speed its growing. Over 2million in only 24 hours and still rising .

All democracies are by plebecites, it's only dictatorships like the EU that arent.

@Poliss95 The population is irrelevant, its actual voters who count and of them a majority voted LEAVE. It's also on record as the largest single issue voter turnout in history. Far larger than the voters who voted to join in 1972 which was er 0 ??????

@Poliss95 Yes but there was No vote to join in 1972. PM Heath broke our Constitution to take us in illegally when public opinion was 3 to 1 against joining. In 1975 PM Wilson held our first Referendum to legalise our membership. This was after a massive publicity campaign in favour of remaining financed by the EU. In this massive campaign all newspapers and TV stations advocated remaining. This would now be illegal under GE and Referendum laws, and quite rightly.

@Poliss95 No one voted to join in 1972 though, we were taken in ilegally because public opinion was 3 to 1 against joining. The 1975 Referendum was only won after a massive one sided publicity campaign, which would be ilegal today.

@Poliss95 Yes we were taken in illegally in 1975 when Heath broke both his word of honour and our Constitution to do it. Governments have to obey our Constitution, not ignore and change it to suit them, that's what its for. The Brexit Referendum was held under the Elections and Referendum Act of 2000 therefore both sides were restricted as to how much they could spend. However, it wasn't in force in 1975 and so the money spent by the Remain side was far in excess of what the Leave side spent and as I stated previously this is now illegal, just as it should have been in 1975.
