We are wasting Billions of pounds of taxpayers money trying to negotiate in a short space of time. Leaving the EU in March 2019 will allow the UK good time to negotiate more efficiently. The EU will be more eager to accept a deal on our terms having lost a major partner.
I assume they lost many votes from Leavers who find the 3rd sentence ridiculous. After all most Leavers do not want a deal ever.

| Quote: | | | | | Sure so you can sign multiple times, the no quoted is not relevant for that reason. | | | | | If my home town had signed in large numbers, then I'd be suspicious, but seeing as only 3.9% of the electorate have, I'd say that's pretty accurate.
On the other hand, in Bristol West, which was 79.7% Remain in the referendum, 25.27% of the electorate have signed the petition. I'm not seeing any major shift in how the signatures are dispersed compared to the referendum result, which would be extremely difficult to replicate if the signatures were random fakes.
But nevermind FMF, there weren't 1 million people marching in London yesterday. You imagined that too.  |

| Quote: | | | | | Sure so you can sign multiple times, the no quoted is not relevant for that reason. | | | | | Yes if you have multiple email addresses in order to send the return email confirmation as well as postcodes. Same goes for the pro Brexit petition which has reached the grand total of not-many-at-all so either people are only signing once or Brexiters are too thick to figure out how to create thousands of email addresses each.
The inescapable reality is that a LOT of people are extremely nervous of leaving this mess in the hands of an incompetant goverment and the volume of people signing pretty much reflects that reality.
I’m not surprised you either can’t or you simply refuse to see that.
