Revoke Article 50 petition calling for Brexit to be cancelled hits 2.5 million signatures

[Soph0571]

More than two million people have signed a petition calling for the government to revoke Article 50 and cancel Brexit.

It has become the fastest growing petition ever created on the government’s petition website despite the service crashing several times on Thursday unable to cope with demand as people voiced their discontent for Theresa May’s plans for the UK’s withdrawal from the European Union.

The 2 million mark was passed shortly after EU leaders agreed to a plan which would delay Brexit from 29 March to 22 May on condition that MPs approve Theresa May's withdrawal deal next week.

1. I know. A referendum on if to hold a referendum.

Then she can claim that democracy worked.

2. Leadsom says if it reaches more than 17.4 million, there'd be a "clear case for taking action".

I signed when it was around 300,000+, not in the expectation of changing anything, but just because it was the very least I could do at the moment. The way numbers were climbing at the time, I thought, "Woah, this could reach a million." And now here we are.

So, Ms Leadsom, challenge accepted. Or you could just support a people's vote and have done with it, unless you're too frit.
