More than 500,000 people sign petition to scrap Brexit and remain in EU

The UK is leaving in 29 March because that is what the law says.

You’ll need to define “law” better.

Under EU / international law, we are subject to the Lisbon Treaty, under which we have A50, under which section 3 has now been satisfied: the Council have unanimously agreed to extend, therefore we have extended and we are not leaving the EU on 29 March.



Edit: “in agreement” with the member state is not formally defined, but as the request came from the UK to extend, the agreement for extension is implied as having been made. What hasn’t been finalised or agreed is the new end date.

Anyone who genuinely believes that is going to happen, you could make some serious money...

Good luck with that. Myself I bet enough against the deadline being met to pay for a decent case of fizz when it goes whooshing by ...

Not obsessing, simply pointing out that that is what the currently agreed process is.

Anyway, something like this?:

It would be better to have 7 separate yes / no referenda, one for each option. They would be held three months apart with official yes and no campaigns. The order in which the options appear would be selected randomly, but one at a time so there would be no view of the subsequent option until the current referendum was complete. As soon as there is a yes vote, then the process stops. If all referenda result in a no, them the whole process starts again.

The count is only updating every hour or so will be over 4m by now

May has also said no 3rd vote on her deal if she can't guarantee the numbers. Indicative votes instead on what parliament want. Could it be that this petition is making them listen and they are considering a 3rd ref now

Further, despite gammons claiming the petition is being gamed, analysis shows that it isn't actually being gamed and these numbers are correct.

How's Brexit gooing for you leave voters .... still enjoying the fun
