Edit; I hope you are not following the herd Creative.

No.

Because every single person I asked why they voted left gave some answer like "yeah I don't like what eu is doing!" well what is that? "THEY TOOK OUR JERBS"

Depends how you spend your day. If, like me, you go to the pub some evenings, you end up mingling with all sorts of total morons, who are also friendly chatty people.

Every single conversation I overheard at the pub earlier contained a sentence like "this is why I voted leave" and every time I heard it I died a little inside... Flinging the phrase about like its a joke,while simultaneously advertising that they voted that way.

Also, the petition has gained 70,000 signatures in about 4 hours and is showing no sign of slowing down. Refreshed page, up another 1000.

I always thought something this big, should never be left to the public. It's too political and deep where as only people who are really involved in this stuff have any real insight to what the possible outcome should be.

People voted because they can, some voted for unacceptable reasons, some followed the herd. I don't see why our country should be decided by the people. We don't really even know enough.

FYI: I never voted.
 
Theres no excuse to not vote IMO. You should vote for the one which can be changed in the future if you're not sure. The so called 'remain for now' option. If all the uncertain people voted for the safe option we probably wouldn't be in this mess.

We the undersigned call upon HM Government to implement a rule that if the remain or leave vote is less than 60% based a turnout less than 75% there should be another referendum.

So if remain had won 59/41, you'd be signing this? :D

If remain had won there wouldn't be a mess to correct in fairness. And the option to hold another referendum would always be open.

We can't win either way. People moan if you vote leave, people moan if you vote remain. We don't understand enough to vote on something this big. I don't know what the implications would be for staying inside or simply leaving the EU would cause. If I voted Remain, then it turned out we would be better out. People would complain for my vote anyway. So the safest option is just not vote. Nobody wins from this.

Could it not be the case, the PM simply doesn't begin Article 50 and we just forget this ever happened.

you see that's the "thing" that bothers me.

There must be a margin percentage surely?

That's going nowhere. More than likely the work of butthurt millennials, most of whom probably didn't even bother to vote in the referendum anyway.

The country voted! If they don't like the result, or the demographics behind the result, then tough ****ing ****!

Speaking of demographics, the only remain campaigners I saw round my way were old. Funny that I didn't see a single young person who cared enough to bother. I guess a good old mouse click after the fact will have to do.
 
Everyone I know voted. I'm 20. I voted. Almost everyone I went to school with voted.

And its not really "tough ****ing ****" if I don't like the LUDICROUS result, given the circumstances surrounding the whole situation, is it? Any effort to fix this mess is worthwhile. And that petition will soon be over a million and rising.

Although those words appear to be English, they are arranged in such a way that they are incomprehensible.

What has old people campaigning for REMAIN and no young campaigners to be seen got to do with the Star?
