It's still democracy because we elect parliament/MPs to make these decisions on our behalf. Parliament could by all means have a re-vote. The referendum result is not legally binding and thus it is advisory. Everybody knows this. It wouldn't be right to ignore the people's vote, but at the same time half the population don't agree and want to remain. I think a General Election will be the way to go
Convenient, since the main parties will.all campaign for in.apparently someone edited the json file on the government site...

first and second: the UK signature updates like normal from 354,634 to 365,483 in 5 hours second and third: in less than 2 hours and the number exploded from 365,483 to 2,401,768 from the UK
if they continue with these shenanigans it will drive people even more mad, someone really should come out and stop this idiocy

The biggest problem is still going to be building the time machine, as this petition seems to be calling for there to be a rule built in to the referendum that if the results/turnout are within a certain range there should be another referendum. Quite a sensible idea really to ensure debate occurs until one side has a decent majority, however as the referendum has already happened it's a bit late.
The petition was created before the vote, but it only became popular after the vote.It had 22 votes before the result was announced.
This isn't a comment on the validity of the signatures or the petition etc...

Lord Heseltine has joined the ranks of those who want to ignore the referendum. He's called on MP's to find a way to get us out of Brexit.
Yep. I'm convinced it is going to happen now. Boris is probably going to have to conspire to LOSE the leadership contest so that another Tory, possibly May, can get elected on a mandate for staying in.its the job no one wants.
you will either be a hero = get a better deal that Norway has.
Or get lynched = end up with a much worse deal than Norway.
I don't think we will get a good deal, they (the EU) will want to punish as a example to others. so it will be the Norway deal or a poor deal.

Are you being serious, or just amusing the rest of us ?
I'm serious...... I believe there is no bar below which our current politicians will crawl in order to get their own way. They will delay article 50 as long as possible and somehow find a way to ask the public again....... hey presto problem solved. I can just see Theresa May or Nicky Morgan lubing up the UK public ready for the re-entry negotiations now. VolvoT5 said:

Circumventing the will of the majority of people who voted in a high-turnout referendum using chicanery is so serious only the likes of the SNP Leader and a daft Labour MP would seriously consider doing it. There may be more sore loser politicians who think they know what the people want better than the people do (wrong) who will speak of it, but I'm referring to doing it.
