Revoke Article 50 Petition

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/241584

So far 175,000 have signed this petition to ask Parliament to Revoke Article 50. Please join us in signing it.

Mrs May has gone beyond losing the plot, Dominic Grieve put is very eloquently that he is embarrased to be in the Conservative Party.

This shambles has only ever been about the ERG establishment getting their own way and denying the will of the people. They lied their way to a freak marginal victory and must be stopped.

Lets Revoke Article 50 and have a General Election with a mandate from cross party groups to actually ask what people want instead of selling the snake oil and telling them what they should want.

Please sign the petition and be counted.

Here occasionally, but mostly somewhere else


"... actually ask what people want instead of ...telling them what they should want.

"

Laudable but unrealistic.

Also, however useless the PM has been, the alternative is consistently shown to be a shambling moron. I'd be all for an election as long as it returned nobody who had ever been a member of a political party. Equally unrealistic, I know, but 650 twats are playing party politics over something that should transcend it. And the only alternative is to spend 3 months swapping 200-odd of those twats for a different set, ending up with... 650 twats. Fuckin' brilliant...

We remain hopeful, Britain is a great country - we just need to get away from having the lunatics running it. Revoke Article 50, take the sword of damacles away and we have a chance to recover and be the country we want to be - open, friendly, proud, happy and prosperous. All things we have been missing under this Tory Government...

Do people not understand that a petition will never succeed in overriding a democratic vote.

Just to remind those remainers who are getting excited about 200k signatures, 17.4 MILLION people voted to leave the EU.

What about this petition. Over 369,000 Signatures, surely we should have listened to them as their petition went in first.

Petition

Leave the EU without a deal in March 2019.

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.

& the other one was debated on 14 January in Parliament, getting the standard Maybot response. I think all sides can agree this is like groundhog day - so lets revoke Article 50 and remove all the threats. This whole thing has been a fiasco, and all it has shown is that people are not being listened to. 37% voted to leave, 63% did not. We have rights as well

I’m not hopeful, I’m positively inspired and I have seen nothing but positives. Except for the way our politicians have handled the situation. which ever way you cut the mustard, the glass remains, for me half full and my optimism, sees the glass filling.

I understand your point, but no I don’t mean that I think they voted to Remain. They just did not vote. It does however show that only aminority of the voting population actually voted to leave - the rest of us get ignored. Indeed many who did vote to leave did it was a protest against Austerity and low funding to the NHS. Sadly Brexit will only increase Austerity and reduce our ability to properly fund the NHS...

I could not disagree more, and you fall into that category of people who suggest that all those who voted leave are ill informed knuckle draggers.

And the people were listened to the voters of this country were given the right to vote. Those that chose not to vote should have made their voices heard at the ballot box.

Nope, no mention of knuckle draggers. Time and again I have asked to be allowed to understand what these mysterious positives are. Sadly each time I adk politely, it is thrown back as an attack as opposed to an opportunity to be educated. If you could just share with me, even via IM if it is a secret, what the positives actually are then you might find everyone gets on board...

I'm more than happy to sign it even though I don't acknowledge "Britain" as a nation. An island maybe.

I just want a normal Scottish nation/state, being an equal part of the family of nations. And to see Westminster dinged doon.

Leave or remain, we were all ill informed.

Leave campaign was based on lies. The evidence is there now.

Remain campaign spectacularly failed to sell the benefits of being members of the EU.

Business exports to increase.

It always makes me laugh when sad and bitter remoaners try to reason away why people voted Leave. I know why I voted Leave and it wasn't a protest vote against austerity, or because of a slogan on a bus, I voted Leave because I genuinely want to leave the EU.

Business exports to rise - even with the decline in Sterling they haven’t in 3 years, so not really

Just reached 300,000 signatories - is it not reasonable to think that many of the 63% who did not vote to leave, (and indeed many of those that did) deserve the right to decide for themselves now we have seen how rubbish this is. Brexit has brought out the worst of this country and not the best.

The leavers know that a majority of people want to remain. This is why they have always been totally shit scared of any possibility of a referendum re-run, because they absolutely know in their hearts there is no way they would win again. If there was any belief that they could win, they would more than welcome another referendum in order to pick up an absolutely undeniable mandate.

My analysis is that if May had the slightest interest in keeping the Conservative party even existing after the next general election, she should cancel A50. Reasoning is as follows:

Option 1: May's deal. None of the electorate likes this. It is hated by leavers because it is too much like remain. It is hated by remainers because it throws away all advantages of the EU. Outcome of May's deal = no leaver ever votes tory again, no remainer ever votes tory again. Next government is either brexit party or remain party. Conservative party collapses.

Option 2: No deal. Hard core leavers get what they want. No remainer ever votes tory again. Hard core leavers never vote tory again, because of all May's dicking around - they will always be of the opinion that whatever "no deal" gets them, it could have been better, and that the tories stood in their way, so hard core leavers vote brexit party. Other leave voters - we can safely assume that several percent have died over the last 2 years, and that at least several percent of the others have seen through all the lies and realise they were duped. These are all votes lost to the tories. Also every person that has lost their job through brexit will never vote tory again. And as the economy starts to fall (and it will do, every reputable analysis says it will, it's only total fantasists that expect the heavens to open and rain down milk and honey), and the number of people with foreign accents actually increases not decreases (and this time it will be people from much further away than europe) everyone that loses out will blame the tories, either for giving a fucked up brexit, or for giving any brexit. There is only a diminishingly small number of people that will say "well done Mrs May, you've given me exactly the sort of brexit I wanted). Conservative party collapses.

Option 3: Delay and continue, rinse and repeat. This isn't actually an option, it just extends the pain ever more and makes everyone hate the tories even more. Conservative party collapses next time we go around the cycle.

Option 4: Cancel A50. None of the leavers ever vote tory again - but they weren't going to anyway. Some of the remainers will vote tory, because they will see it as May having played a long game and saved the day. Some of the remainers will vote for centre or left wing parties. All of the floating voters will continue to vote whichever way they did before, because although they think the tories have fucked around and lost the country a lot of prestige, at least some of the threatened jobs are saved, the economy bounces back. Over the next ten years the tory party can gradually rebuild it's voter base and stands some chance of still existing.

Hence logically, she should cancel A50, it is the only scenario where there even is a conservative party in 5 years time.

BUT - I think she will actually deliberately force no deal, even though the long term consequence is hurt for everybody and the destruction of her party. She knows that she personally is gone whatever, and this will be a last "fuck you all" that she will leave the country with. If she can't come out as the victorious leader, why not just go for a scorched earth policy?

Typical Brexiteer, hijacking someone elses thread!

By all means advocate your side of things, but the problem is that people have looked over the precipice and they don’t like what they see, nor do they like the snake oil salespeople who chant all the dogma...

.

I am optimistic about a very positive future outside the EU, free of the unelected beureacrats who hate us anyway.

Snake oil, what about the doom and gloom remoaners, constantly forseeing the end of the world, if we leave.

Examining the downloadable data for the petition, I see that it was launched at 10:25 am on 20th March. Yes midnight has come and gone, but I think you might find that 10:25 am until 1:10 am the next CALENDAR day (when the post you are moaning about was written) is actually quite a lot less then a full 24 hours. No wonder that leavers seem to have difficulty understanding economic information.

For a moment , forget how you voted , or didn't vote , forget which march/ walk you are taking part in ,,, forget which petition you signed ,, I am going to bring us all together in one big happy family where not only will everyone agree with what I am about to say but can't argue against it ,,,,,,, For a political party ( the Conservative party )to stand in the 2015 General Election with the promise of an in/out referendum, to go on to win that election , to then carry out their election pledge but to have no plan at all if the country chooses option b instead of option a , has got to be the most inept forward planning imaginable and to consider that the same party won another General Election in 2017 ( albeit with a financial inducement to the DUP ) and for that same party still to have no real plan is staggeringly unbelievable

All things we have been missing under this Tory Government...

210,000 votes now!"

And you think the electorate are qualified to make that decision? Based on what we’ve seen so far, I wouldn’t trust much of the electorate to work out how to use a tin opener. Let alone be aware of the vast facets of our integration with the E.U. and our costs of unpicking all that.

Remember when David Davis was asked by the select committee if he had done any financial study of what ‘no deal’ would look like and he had to admit he had not? May wasn’t bleating on about how ‘no deal was better than a bad deal’. Not only had the government not even worked out what ‘no deal’ would entail so they could accurately make that comparison, May is now trying to ram ‘a bad deal’ down parliaments throat.

"I understand your point, but no I don’t mean that I think they voted to Remain. They just did not vote. It does however show that only aminority of the voting population actually voted to leave - the rest of us get ignored. Indeed many who did vote to leave did it was a protest against Austerity and low funding to the NHS. Sadly Brexit will only increase Austerity and reduce our ability to properly fund the NHS...

Look the people that did vote

Outcome leave won get over it and respect democracy

I wouldn't trust future referedums in the UK as clearly nothing of consequence has been done about the electoral missconduct in the last one. When the Supreme Court said that it couldn't challange the result parliment should have openned a public enquiery over this. We clearly need much stronger and legally binding rules for all these votes and until we start getting much harsher penalties for breaching these rules for both our elections and referendum then our democratic process is a farce.

"We remain hopeful, Britain is a great country - we just need to get away from having the lunatics running it. Revoke Article 50, take the sword of damacles away and we have a chance to recover and be the country we want to be - open, friendly, proud, happy and prosperous. All things we have been missing under this Tory Government...

210,000 votes now!

Britain isn’t a country, but it is a great place to live in. If we get rid of the lunatics we have now what is the alternative ? Please tell me you’re not going to ask me to vote Labour, imagine a government with Diane Abbott ??????"

. I am not Diane Abbot's biggest fan , but I am fairly confident that if she had been Home Secretary we would not have had the disgusting situation where BRITISH citizens had been sent to detention centres , some not allowed back in the country following holidays abroad ,and some deported from their ( our ) own country ,,

Morning all - 476,000 signatures now!

I always find it funny when Leavers say we should respect democracy. They didn’t, the lies that were told and called out by the electoral commission testify to that - aswell as the fines.

17.4m voters did not vote for this shambles. So the democratic thing is to actually stop this, take a breather and then within our own contril, put theoptionstothe people to decide - butfirstlygiving the Electoral Commission and Advertising Standards more teeth - people who fuck things up this badly, lieing and cheating should end up in prison.

Interesting, as I was writing this the signatories have just got to 500,000! it mustbe all down to Fab & Centy, that is more than you have on your march I thing?

All I have in my mind is you sat there as a toddler, repeatedly bashing the square block on the round hole of the shape sorter and wondering why it won’t go in.

Surely in the past 3 years you have realised that the situation is a bit more complex than you’d been conned into believing?

The irony being that (from what I understand) one of the main reasons that more can’t be done to investigate is because the referendum was NOT legally binding in the first place. As it want legally binding, then legally it doesn’t need have the same protections as, say, a general election would have.

As you know house prics have already stalled and we haven’t even left. Remain’s argument was not that these things would happen before we left - they would be a result of leaving, so Remain did not lie about this. Of course ifI was a Leaver, I’d claim youropinion did not count asyou didnot vote - but we live in a democracy, so perhaps make it count next time?

Given that May was going on last night about parliament frustrating the peoples will, the logic of her position is to take it out of parliament's hands and refer her deal directly to the people via an election or referendum.

Revoke Article 50 and you stay a member basically.

So even with more outages on the Government website, 700,000 people have signed the petition to revoke Article 50. This was achieved in 24 hours by one individual saying enough is enough. Now we know that individual has the backing of at least 700,000 people.

It is time for Parliament to listen to the people and stop living in Westminster Village.

Nothing in Article 50 says you can’t revoke and then use it again. It is a very short 5 paragraph piece which is pretty unambiguous.

I agreeit is taking the piss, but compared to May’s shenanigans (I’ve always wanted to find a use for this word!) it would be pretty acceptable

The ECJ said revocation “must folllow a democratic process in accordance with national constitutional requirements”, i.e. UK law, not EU law. No-one has ruled on what means in the UK context.

The ECJ also said revocation must be “unequivocal and unconditional”.

That means it cannot be used to delay a final decision to stay or leave.

I think that would be the only way anyone would take it seriously, I have always said unless you get millions to stop what ever they are doing and stand together nobody will take any notice.

If you had 20 million voters to do this you might stand a chance but it would never happen.

A few thousand means nothing, yes you might get a mention in the house but they would be very briefly and then nothing.

Even the leavers marches are small in comparison to what the kids have done about climate change!

"you only need 100,000 for it to be heard in parliament.

But people still want to sign the petition, no matter how many votes are needed for the parliament, the more the betterdo you think you will get 17.5 million?"

Why are these sarcastic question from you, this is a petition and not a referendum. Apparently you do not know what role the petition is to fulfill.

"The ECJ ruled that “a member state engaged in an abusive practice of using successive notifications and revocations in order to improve the terms of its withdrawal from the European Union” would be in breach of EU law that prohibits abusive practice."

But this would not be abusive practice. What we have is abusive practice of holding a gun to our own heads. The ECJ would not care about us revoking A50. If we did it 3 times via a ‘meaningful vote’ asking for the same thing I could see your point!

737.000 I think that's more double the leave on the 29th March with no deal petition. .

"What about this petition. Over 369,000 Signatures, surely we should have listened to them as their petition went in first.

Petition

Leave the EU without a deal in March 2019.

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.

More details

Sign this petition

369,354 signatures

"

So in the space of 25 hours, this petition has added 2,000 signatories and the Revoke A50 has achieved 742,000. That is double the total achieved by Leave. No it doesn’t say Britain is totally against Brexit, but it does show people care and want their voices heard - if you look at the constituency map showing percentage of signatories against size of voting population you will see this is spread across the UK and not just in a few hotspots.

Let Britain have control back by revoking Article 50

That is the position in law.

Revocation must be unequivocal and unconditional.

Now, that is EU law.

The process leading up to revocation is a matter of UK law.

The triggering of Article 50 by the PM was preceded by:

a) a referendum of the electorate

b) an affirmative voted in the Commons and Lords

What would be required in law to revoke Article 50?

Can the PM do it unilaterally, does it need an affirmative vote in the Commons and Lords and does it need a referendum?

I don’t know.

However, if the prospect of revocation without a referendum came into focus next week, I could well see a rich Leaver applying immediately for judicial review on the basis the Government was acting unlawfully.

Whether that would succeed, I do not know. The referendum after all was advisory, not binding. The binding decision was that of Parliament.

I do love the way that remainers try to argue their case by claiming that 63% of the electorate did not vote to leave - making the assumption that every single one of those people who could not be bothered to get up off their backsides and down to a polling station were in favour of remaining.

By exactly the same token, it could be argued that every person who did not cast a vote was in favour of leaving - but didn't vote because they assumed that remain would win.

So OK, I accept the argument that 63% did not vote to leave, but a higher percentage did not vote to remain.

You see, you still lose.

As you well know claim 52% voted leave, but that was just those that actually voted. Semantics matter, Leavers seemed to believe that we’d be better off leaving, but that was down to BJ’s lies...

Your absolutely right, we voted to leave.

Unfortunately those who have no respect for the democratic vote, have caused infighting and bickering when all politicians should have been concentrating and working to leave with the best deal that was beneficial for the EU and the UK

That has left us in a mess so rather than drag it out for another 2 years. Leave without a deal, and start to embrace the change, strike deals that benefit all, not just the few.

The only people who gain from Brexit are the few - this is the Irony, it is Eton’s finest who got us here, they are the establishment. The many have gained much more under the EU, UK tax policy and Austerity is a funtion of the National Government - what we need is a new UK government, not giving even more control to Eton!

I completely agree, and I am all for proportional representation, which would change the political arena completely.

However over 17 million Etonians. No a minority’s of Etonians and a majority of working class people who were fed up of the BS coming from Brussels. Austerity is not the issue.

To compare a voluntary association of sovereign states - we’re leaving it, remember - with fascism and genocide is, well, quite a feat of mental gymnastics, even for a quitter.

Yeah i like to look at profiles of people who constantly try to put you down and have noticed a trend of being a member for over a year and no veris of any meets.

What does this have to do with brexit? "

Just a tawdry distraction tactic as they have lost all the debates

Nothing just someone trying to be funny about brexiteers,deserved a reply.As for lost the debate i dont think so just remainers clutching at straws, revoke a50 would probably get about 100-120 mps voting for it as it stands today but good to see them at last being positive about something even if it is just a number going up on a website.

"& the other one was debated on 14 January in Parliament, getting the standard Maybot response. I think all sides can agree this is like groundhog day - so lets revoke Article 50 and remove all the threats. This whole thing has been a fiasco, and all it has shown is that people are not being listened to. 37% voted to leave, 63% did not. We have rights as well

now

Not sure where you plucked those figures from. Here are the correct figures for you.

UK votes to LEAVE the EU

EU Referendum results, counting complete

Leave

Vote share

51.9%

VOTES17,410,742

VOTES

Remain

Vote share

48.1%

VOTES16,141,241

VOTES

0 results left to declare

EU Referendum latest updates

37% of the voting population voted to leave, the rest did not. Yes of those that voted Brexit won, but overall a minority of the voting population - 37/63 voted to Leave. We have not been listened to, this is why it is a shambles.

34% voted to remain, the rest did not.

72.21% voted which means 27.79% failed to vote.

I think it would be fair to assume that these people had zero desire to leave and were not too concerned about the current status of EU membership.

I think it would be fair to presume that these people had zero desire either way, and would accept the result of the vote.

It would have been fair not to have been lied to, then this statement might have some validity. However, it remains true that Leave won that vote, but only with 37% of the overall electorate. If lies had not been told to the extent they were - witness the past 2 1/2 years then a different result would have happened.

Witness the remain lies as well.

What are you claiming is a lie?"

500,000 extra unemployed

18% house price drop

6% drop in GDP

Up to 285,000 jobs lost in finance sector

The EU has no plans for an army

To name but a few....

Realism is not the same as pessimism. It could be argued that you are the pessimistic one about the EU, when all the evidence shows that we have benefitted hugely from it - and this is actual real factual evidence rather than opinion...

well no its opinion we would have had to run another uk outside the eu for a comparison for it to be factual evidence.

Are you suggesting that we should be positive about negative news?

It seems like wave after wave of bad Brexit related news is accepted by most as negative. And at best, dismissed as project fear by some leavers.

I’m no statistician and this certainly isn’t any scientific statistical analysis, never stopped me in the past though...

But looking at the ‘heat map’ (footy fans will know immediately what that means) of the sign ups...... it’s an option when you look at the count , 966.000 right now

It still seems that there’s not a lot of signing in East Anglia/Essex and the north east

3 places that I thought would be hit the hardest economically by Brexit

Turkeys still voting for Christmas ?

Or at least not calling stop it..

I’ve no idea why , just that’s how it looks to my untrained eye .

If you go with % of constituents, it takes away variance in size of each constituency and you get a clearer view of spread

15 years ago yes. It wasn't very bad but it wasn't easy to live.

Well, you are very welcome here and I hope you stay.

The Little Englander types give the same “clear off” abuse to everyone who doesn’t sit there masturbating in their Union Jack underpants at the thought of crashing the country in pursuit of some fantasy ideology. It’s really quite pathetic.

Thank you

Yes that’s right us little Englanders who’s fathers and grandfathers fought and died to free Europe from invasion and a ruthless dictatorship, only to give up all those Freedoms to an unelected, unaccountable bullyboy dictatorship. Know as the EU Commision.

I await the right wing, racist, white supremacist remarks to come flooded in.

Coming from the man wanking in his EU y fronts.

Happy to oblige !

Will Self said “though not everyone who voted leave was a right wing racist/supremacist, wanking in Union Jack y fronts etc.”

Every single racist/supremacist who did vote , voted to leave "

What's your evidence that every single racist who did vote, voted to leave?

Many people say the tory party is racist.

More than one report has concluded that the Labour Party is institutionally anti-semitic. 9 MPs left Labour recently, citing anti-semitism for their departure.

Both parties campaigned to remaign.

Petitions don't represent the majority of people. I have 4 email addresses so i could vote 4 times on any subject..
