Probably a peak time, with lots of people doing stuff before settling down to work, but still impressive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its funny though that it has already got 200k more signatures than the "leave without a deal" petition that has been opened for some time (at least December 2018 when the Government responded to it). It is also the open petition with the most signatures. Will be utterly pointless but if the figures go high enough they can be indicative that a lot of people want a change in course.

The "leave without a deal" petition is at a scale between 0 - 1167 and the "remain" petition is between 0 - 3406. Its just hard to compare the 2. I would be interested to see an actual comparison though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a list of most "popular" votes that have been conducted in this way? It might grab some more attention if it nears the top of that list.

Vive_La_Villa Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Well considering just under half of the voters in 2016 wanted to remain, It shouldn’t be a surprise if the numbers are high for this petition. The same people would be signing the petition regardless of how the negotiations were going. Its interesting but pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
