Yeah, people were bragging at the time they managed to sign it multiple times . Don’t ask me how because I don’t know .
Even if multiple signing is possible, do you seriously think that the same wouldn't happen with this latest poll for a new election? Engage your brain man.

I know lots of people who will have signed this. I firmly believe it's genuine.

As with Brexit, when I saw thousands protest against it, I felt they were protesting against democracy, and similarly right now, agree of disagree with Labour, they got voted in and we live with them. so no matter how many people want another election soon, it’s not going to happen, just accept it.
Of course another election won’t happen. Everyone knows that. But that’s not the point, how else do people show their displeasure at what is going on? And send messages to those in charge? This is a good a route as any. 2 million +/- a questionable small percentage, voicing an opinion. It’s why the petition system exists. Communication and feedback.

You could post the word 'shambles' on a 3rd division soccer teams fan forum, I'm sure a couple of the MPs frequent here.

In four or five years time . You Remoaner's can have another referendum in 40 years time . That's the same length of time leavers had to wait from the previous referendum .
How often would you like general elections to take place, and can you give an example of a unique broken promise (ie, a promise with no equivalent precedent in modern history) that in your opinion should result in another general election.

Also it’d be quite useful to know how many signatures you think are necessary for it to be considered “the will of the people” to hold another election.

Looking forward to your answer mate!!!

Let’s not get sidetracked. The Tories had five because of their internal issues, not out of respect for the electorate.
(I do find it very funny that during the existence of the fixed term parliament act, not one government ran for the full fixed term

Just looking at the signatories data, they're spread very evenly. Vast majority of constituencies have a four figure number of signatories, only a few have 3 figures. Seems a bit unusual to me. Almost as if bots are ensuring they spread their vote around.

Even 650 people in the outer hebrides constituency of 'Na h-Eileanan an Iar' put their name down.

I wonder if such data exists for the previously mentioned remoaner petitions. Would be interesting to see if that follows similar spreads, or more closely follows the geographic split in the Referendum

The difference is before people were bragging about it . On this occasion I haven’t heard anything

DId you miss the budget? Numerous industries saying it will stifle investment, lead to job losses and lead to rate rises.

Did you ,it’s the Farmers protesting last week?

In the past week Starmer has wound up the Chinese, Russians and Israelis in a triple whammy, helped with the useless Lammy.

Have you not read about Reeves CV?

And much more!

All because both will have to pay their way and they're not used to it. Of course they're complaining

I don't like Starmer, but still voted Labour to try and get rid of the scummy Tories. Labour have made way too many mistakes so far but the weight of criticism from the Media outlets and Social media channels is frankly ridiculous and completely disproportionate to his and Labours performance. It's an orchestrated attack on a democratically elected head of state.

Finally, would those members of the public currently villifying Starmer really want the Tories back?

I thought it was Adolf Farage the public wanted but I am unsure.

It’s all ridiculous isn’t it? Just another indication of entitlement and YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO ME IM IMPORTANT mindset.

Ironically the same people signing it who labelled people “remoaners” for wanting a reversal of a lot closer vote
