The prospect of holding a second EU referendum could be debated in Parliament in coming weeks after a petition topped the 100,000 target within hours of the result being declared.
It was so popular that the Government petition website hosting the motion crashed this morning.
The petition demands the Government re-stage the referendum because the winning vote for Leave was less than 60 per cent and was based on a turnout of less than 75 per cent.

...future, that is.
Sounds like Cruz’s bunch of delegate hunters.
The LEAVE vote was just over 1.3 million more than the REMAIN vote. Even a do-over would be difficult to overcome that kind amount.
We are about to get a real world demonstration of why the British politicians disarmed their citizens.
Coming events will also demonstrate why we must fight tooth and nail to prevent the gun control idiots from disarming America.
This does not surprise me at all. The Left & the Globalists will use every trick in the book to overturn the Referendum results.
There was nothing at all about a required figure for turn out or to win by any particular percentage. This is all being made up only now after they lost the vote.
The Left is showing its true colors: they are anti-democratic, global elitists, and the big corporations are their allies.
If the percentages were reversed, does anyone believe that the Left would assent to another vote because the Remain vote was not 60%?
“Rust never sleeps”
Would those parameters be required for a second referendum to be valid, also?
Will of the people? Oh heck no — if it goes against big government.
The left is nothing if not predictable.
Pretty much the same divide as we have in the US. The Brexit vote really is a preview over the November battle in the US.
Please disregard my previous comments on the Dow. The interface I was using appears to be malfunctioning.
Yes, if it has the same result.
No, if it has the opposite result.
It sounds just like Ted Cruz and his Cruzroids trying to overturn the will of GOP voters with their latest shenanigans. #FreeTheDelegates
If the EU emulates the USA the secession of Britain will trigger a civil war resultimg in the deaths of 600,000 with another 400,000 wounded.
The Dow closed at 17,400.75 so if the futures closed at 17,247.50 it is not down 667.50. There is still something wrong with the site.
Brilliant idea! Because instead of a mere referendum being respected by the elites what the UK REALLY needs is an all-out civil war!
(eye roll)
This is dumb. 48 percent said stay so of course petitions can be successful when you have that many against. They should announce that the vote holds. On Tuesday, they may give formal notification to the EU so that should stop the 48 percent from doing more petitions.
