Brexit Thread

Hyperbole is nice, but sources are better. This article says that there were some 77.000 fraudulent or suspicious signatures, of more than 3 million signatures at the time (it peaked at over 4 million). Less than 3 %.

Edit: the point was, of course, that the person who started the petition is a hypocritical POS.

The salt must flow.

22 Hypocrytical brexiteers vs 4 million bremain sore losers/democracy underminers, probably not the best place to claim moral superiority over.

Excercising the legal right to petition your government does not undermine democracy. It's a cornerstone of democratic government. Your way of thinking is bizarre.

And the person who started the petition is still a POS.

As are the 4 million people who signed it as they were using that right to attempt to redo a referendum because they didnt like the result.

Hardly a new idea:

“Obamacare. We’re going to repel it, we’re going to replace it, get something great. Repeal it, replace it, get something great!” yelled Trump.

"As are the 4 million people who signed it as they were using that right to attempt to redo a referendum because they didnt like the result" That is called democracy. When you don't like something, you use debates and votes to change things.
It is not you have to agree with something, it is you have to accept the changes or rules until you can democratically change things.
