A petition calling for a 2nd EU Referendum has hit over 3 million signatures.
Over 3 million people in the UK are calling on the Government to effectively retake a EU Referendum.
The petition which was launched before the British referendum on the European Union calls for “a rule that if the remain or leave vote is less than 60% based on a turnout of less than 75% there should be another referendum”
Within hours of the EU ref results, which saw just a slim majority of the electorate voting to leave the European Union over 70,000 people had voted for a second referendum.
Now just two days after the result which has left many in a state of shock, over 3 million people have voted on the petition for a second referendum, which is sure to become one of the largest petitions to be delivered to 10 Downing Street.
As is stands Petitions which garner over 100,000 votes are eligible to be discussed by MPs in the House of Commons.
The petition is asking the Government to carry out another referendum due to low turnout and a result that is less than 60 per cent.
“We the undersigned call upon HM Government to implement a rule that if the remain or leave vote is less than 60% based a turnout less than 75% there should be another referendum.”
During the run up and during the voting on the EU, THEGAYUK asked its readers in a series of Flashpolls which way they were planning or hoping to vote. Overwhelmingly the readership said they were in the Remain camp, with 60 per cent saying they had voted for Stay.
