- sbarre 10y agoYeah this feels like the "oh shit I didn't bother to go vote because I didn't think it would matter" folks suddenly realizing they probably should have stepped up..
- crdoconnor 10y agoI'm pretty sure a small minority of the signatories of this petition weren't among the ~16 million who voted 'remain'. It was very obvious in the weeks running up that this wasn't going to be a sure thing for either side.
- qrendel 10y agoThere are also allegedly numerous people who voted leave just to troll the system and now regret it: http://www.vox.com/2016/6/24/12024634/brexit-supporters-regret-vote http://www.vox.com/2016/6/24/12024634/brexit-supporters-regr...
- sklogic 10y agoA huge number of London commuters could not vote, being stuck in the trains thanks to Govia scumbags.
- DanBC 10y agoUK Government has brought in strict laws for union voting around strike action. They need a majority of a certain size of a turnout of a certain size. The referendum had a good turnout (and it's disappointing to call 75% good) but for such an important change 52% vs 48% is pretty close. That's not good enough for my local bowls club or allotment society or WI.
