Yeah, it's easy to pick on working class people with strong dialects and then make them look stupid on National TV. There's plenty of voters on both sides who can be made to look stupid based on their reasons for voting one way or the other.

my crystal ball tells me that once a new PM is sworn in, he/she will call a general election before invoking article 50, then one of their campaign pleges will be to not invoke article 50 and stay im the EU
could they do that or would the EU just kick us out in 2 years anyway?
For me and a lot of others, I think that would indicate the end of the democratic processes in our country and I think would trigger revolt.
Pointless, the whole premise of the that petition is that the turnout wasn't high enough. A second vote will only have even lower turnout and be even less binding.

Definitely. I think it's time to sit back, crack open a beer and relax for a while. Clearly the political class is in shock right across Europe and it now seems that the Euro leaders recognise a need for reform. Merkel in particular clearly wants the UK to remain involved. So in the coming months hopefully there will be plenty of constructive talk and I would happily go to the polls again.
we'll get revolt anyway won't we ?

it is up to us to invoke article 50... though we are going to leave the EU
Boris has no reason to call a referendum, in fact it would potentially be political suicide
Umm, yes it was wasn't it, somehow the remain campaign didn't get through, some terrible beliefs there.
We didn't fight WW1 and 2 for England it was for Europe.
Andi.
They even got a 2 day extension to register to vote. They can have absolutely no complaints.

I don't think Britain can pull the "ha ha, got you, just joking guys!" routine so you're stuck with it. I can't see the EU allowing that on point of principal as well as precedence.
The people voted and the people have to deal with it.
This is the one that really annoys me, I was hoping for a little price drop on the 1070s
Indeed. Guys you lost, get over it.

They should respect the older vote more. They've had lots more life experience and will have a better judgement over what's happening. The older folk may have saved this country from self destruction.
eu already has bent over backwards for us, its stupid.
UK should have woken upto globalisation and the future, rather than looking back with rose tinted glasses at history.
but the population has never been forward thinking, time and again we vote in regressive governments.
They might have deliberately abstained, due to disaffection with the political system or inability to reduce such a complex decision to a simple leave/stay.
I don't mind a second vote, but there will be more salty tears, as the leave vote would rise, people know now that leave can win, betas that gave into the fear will vote leave as they want to be on the winning team for a change, plus the stay puft man didn't destroy the city of London.
My god
As the poster posted above, the onus on the media now is to make leave voters look stupid. If they put the same effort into finding stupid remain voters, we'd get the same net effect.
Majority of people are uninformed however they have a right to vote which is something we all as a society are bought into. Therefore everyone gets a vote, otherwise we move towards an elitist society
All these cretins in power jobs are obviously trying to protect their own interests and will make every effort to disrupt and make this look like a bad decision. However decisions aren't always made for short term gain, you can look to long term too.
All those eejits saying they are going to lose their job in the EU parliament... so what? Do your jobs hold above the net gain of our entire government? You'll get another job for the next couple of years helping negotiate all the deals with other governments. Oh wait, you won't because it isn't brain surgery and you are nothing but a drain on our funds.

The leave vote would have been bigger if the tragedy the week before hadn't had happened.
