It was so popular that the Government petition website hosting the motion crashed this morning.

Hopefully this is a pipe dream, but never turn your back on the Left and the globalists.

Liberals demanding a do-over.

Doesn’t surprise me. If they don’t like the result, do it again until they get the result they want.

The Left is like a tide: relentless, unyielding, oblivious. And this time they’ll cheat like all hell.

"Although Donald Trump won with 58% of he popular vote and a blowout in the Electoral College, we note that his victory was less than 60% of the vote, and the turnout was less than 75%. We demand a new election."

Not surprising. The Libs and school teachers on school bond issues do the same all the time. Keep re-voting at huge expense til you get the vote you want no matter what. Disgusting!!!

In great Briton, just as a it is here, the left has never lost an election. If they get fewer votes than the Normal People, the election was stolen.

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.

Are either or both of those thresholds required? If not, this second referendum proposal is a farce.

I’m not aware of a super-majority requirement for the referendum to pass and 75% voter turnout compares favorably with voter turnout in European countries.

The REMAIN camp is clutching at straws. They’re livid because they lost.

The left can’t accept facts and the fact is the vote was to leave. Get over it!
