Back up again.
Yeah just seen that. If there was nefarious intentions behind it they Streisand the feck out of it.

Nearly 50,000 signatures in the 20 mins since it came back up.

Anyone but Rashford
I'd always have sooner supported revoking Article 50 rather than another bullshit referendum. Signed da ting.

Would do, but the coaches are full from where I live; trains aren't running because of engineering works and Megabus/National Express is fully booked...

Pretty sure it's because too many folk are trying to sign it at once.

So do these petitions typically have a large impact? Like can you be confident that it'll actually lead to a serious discussion in Parliament on the matter, a discussion that otherwise wouldn't have taken place?

No, but it takes no time to do so you might as well.

I don't think there is a single one of these petitions that has made a slightest bit of difference to anything, but I am happy to be corrected on this.

No, it won't have any impact.

Cap in hand to the French....

Macron needs to hold his ground.

I really think almost no one in the UK supports May even within the conservative party, or her deal, it's far worse than just remaining and does not have the benefits of leaving. Despised by all.

The petition doesn't hold much weight except to put the idea out there.

For me it's the sensible solution. It won't end the "Brexit" / UK independence debate though. Just remove "the gun" from the UKs head and move the debate on to the next stage with a probable general election.

How is No Deal illegal if it's the default position?
The concept of No Deal isn't illegal but the practical implementation of it violates a few things. Not only the Irish border issue (WTO incompatible with GFA) but all of the legislation that needs to be voted on/ratified by parliament between now and leaving - even with a deal a transition period was needed. Without a deal that wouldn't exist and is, as I understand it, pretty much an impossible scenario.
