I signed this 12 hours ago and still have not had the confirmation email… so I suspect there are many more signatures to come,and it’s over 2mil now

It’s 2.26M now.

Which, assuming it’s all valid UK citizens signing, is approaching 5% of the adults registered to vote (48M), and not far off 8% of those that voted last year (29M). It’s all people who are politically active enough to sign a petition after all.

How can they think it’s a winning move?

Didn’t the brexit one get something like 5 million votes?

Yes, but that was part of the Tory election manifesto, so no petition was going to outweigh that one.

Brexit… Winning…

Do you see my problem with your observation?
