For what it’s worth, that’s the million.

Get it signed. There’s literally no downsides to doing so.

There’s no upside to doing so, save I get 30 more seconds to post shit here instead.

I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree because I can’t see anything smug in this one - it literally just says, lets prove that there’s support for remaining in the EU contrary to the claim that the “will of the people” is a single thing…

They said that about Rage Against the Machine, too. :wink:

And why bother voting when only a handful of votes in marginal seats to the balance. The government always gets in, hur, hur.

But seriously. Yes it’s an :nauseated_face: online petition. Granted. But these are unprecedentedly big #numbers . In the space of less than a day. Through an official channel. In direct response to May’s bullshit about ‘what the people want’.

Honestly, it feels like I can’t do anything else in the face of this shitstorm, so why the fuck not.

If this is all I can do, then I’m going to make sure I do it. I don’t care if it’s futile and I don’t care if a shit scottish comedian thinks it’s futile.

Almost certainly won’t change a thing. Still signed it.

A petition for a second referendum got four million. A petition to stop Trump making a state visit got 1.8.

Remember May saying in her speech about “leaving it to the electorate to decide”, or something to that effect. Well, this petition is a way to show some preference, as we aren’t allowed a ref or GE.

And even if it doesn’t affect May’s decision making directly, you can be sure several MPs will see it as vindication of their approach to the commons voting.

Fucksake.

I don’t want Brexit, but I don’t want to appear smug.

Really?

You could’ve had it signed and moved on with your lives in the time it’s taken you to explain that nonsense.

Fuck.

Think you’d all be better off writing to the PM and CCing your MP in.

It’s not about not wanting to appear smug, its about doing something to falsely make yourself feel empowered that has no value at all, other to make smug people feel like they are achieving something, which they aren’t because it means nothing.
