Web Petition For 2nd EU Referendum Draws Huge Interest (ap.org)
From an Associated Press report:An online petition seeking a second referendum on a British exit from the Europe Union has drawn more than 1.6 million names, a measure of the extraordinary divisiveness of Thursday's vote to leave the 28-nation bloc. The online petition site hosted by the House of Commons website even crashed Friday under the weight of the activity as officials said they'd seen unprecedented interest in the measure, which calls on the government to implement a rule that stating if that if "remain" or "leave" camps won less than 60 percent of the vote with less than a 75 percent turnout "there should be another referendum."According to reports, this is the biggest surge of support Parliament's website has ever seen. Looking at the keywords people were hitting up on Google after the news first broke, it was clear that a considerable portion of the population was clueless about the whole situation.
Might as well go pray. Has about the same effect.
Is that perl?

I hope this serves as a warning for the ignorant people considering a vote for Donald or Hillery.
There corrected that for you.

It would be interesting to see what a referendum on the issue would look like if you took out all the people who are being funded by the NRA.
Wow, no more Mr. Nice Guy.
JK ;-P
If it weren't for deadlines, nothing would be late.
My anecdotal experiences have clearly shown that prayer has at least a 50% chance of success, far better than web petitions.
One benefit of leaving the EU- fewer problems with Unicode characters.
You.
You are welcome on my lawn.
