MrM Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 it seems that the petition was actually set up by a Leave supporter on Thursday for referendums in the future - was then hi-jacked by Remain on Friday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panoma1 Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 You can't enact retrospective legislation because you dont agree with, or like the result of the referendum, UK law wouldn't allow it!......the terms of this petition, if adopted into UK law would be for any future referendums...........so in future it would be more difficult to get an "In" result as it would to get an "out" Vote!

Jamesey1981 Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 (edited) Seems that the bots and scripts that are adding names automatically are the result of a prank by 4chan, they've been bragging about it for the last 24 hours, might have known. Only one source and I don't know how reputable they are, but they include screenshots that are pretty convincing. http://heatst.com/politics/exclusive-brexit-2nd-referendum-petition-a-4-chan-prank-bbc-report-it-as-real/?mod=sm_tw_post Edited June 26, 2016 by Jamesey1981 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anser2 Posted June 26, 2016 Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 In the latest of several dramatic plot twists concerning the EU referendum, it appears the person who set up the petition calling for a second referendum, which has amassed more than 3 million signatures, was actually a Leave campaigner who thought Remain was on course to win. William Oliver Healey states on his Facebook page that he is standing for the right-wing nationalist political party the English Democrats in Leicestershire. He set up the petition on May 25 when he assumed Remain was on course to clinch the vote, according to his Facebook page. Anyone got a link for the petition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Geordie Posted June 27, 2016 Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 Apparently Nichola Sturgeon has just announced that Holyrood could effectively stop the UK from leaving the EU by vetoing the move. Just flashed up on BBC website....think I read it right. Works two ways! Lets veto her attempts to become an independent country if she wants to play that game!

Those remainers who are signing it, however, are deadly serious. This latest one is a prank also, the difference being that those who are signing it, are treating it as such.
