“Revoke Article 50 and remain in the EU” Petition

April Fools Day seems an absolutely marvellous choice for any vote on Brexit!

If the majority of British subjects ends up signing the petition to annul paragraph 50, then it is to be hoped that the politicians will need to respect that.

Last time I checked, Britain was still a democracy.

Many apologies to everyone the e-mail, which is from the government not the petition organisers, has just come through. As the government has lost so many votes in Parliament lately I assume they would not put the matter to the vote for fear they would lose again.

As I see it
The difference depends on what is meant by 'the Government'. To me it means the PM and her current cabinet etc.
But now Parliament ie the MPs in the Commons have won a vote to take over the debate. And they have accepted discussion of revoke Article 50. Among other propositions.
Is that right?

grannysyb would you care to cut and paste the words from your e-mail as I have done? You can do this without revealing your id.

Well, the email I got said that they NOT going to revoke article 50. Haven't read all the posts but what's this about leavers?

Not quite what the e-mail says-see below
Parliament is going to debate the petition you signed – “Revoke Article 50 and remain in the EU.”.

The debate is scheduled for 1 April 2019.

Once the debate has happened, we’ll email you a video and transcript.
Why do Leavers feel the need to lie?

I have had an email from the petitions site stating that the Govt will not revoke article 50. The petitions committee will "consider it for debate" so looks like they are going to ignore the petition.

Yes it will be debated and the comment was, 'We cannot ignore such numbers.' At last!

Only around 50,000 needed to make 6 million!

April Fools Day? Let's hope that our politicians are not so foolish as to ignore it.

The petition is to be debated on Monday, April 1st. I think it's goin to go past 6 million.

Hi Andy I'm not sure about what "Leave" meant you can choose from -No deal -we leave without any safeguards and sink into a serious recession.
A customs union-we ask all those countries we had one deal with to let us have some sort of trade deal with each of them.
A Norway deal we get all the same things as in the EU but without a seat at the table
There are also all the things leave was supposed to bring -like an end to free movement which is not only useful but essential for our NHS and anyway immigration is actually up.
Time for the Leavers to admit it is all a complete mess and we need a new vote.

Oh hi again Andy. Your pal Lutongranny looked in last night.

Parliament needs to revoke Article 50. It has been a very costly and nerve-wracking episode of Tory misrule of mammoth proportions and it needs to stop.

I think 'revoke Article 50' is going to be one of the options for the indicative votes.

Petition should hit 6 million today

Oh btw lutongranny. I mean David.

I hardly dared believe Parliament would take over but 329 votes and 3 ministerial resignations. Wow.

Sadly, Twitter is in meltdown with extremely nasty and threatening tweets. I hope no one carries out these vile threats.

Well done Mr Cameron. See what you achieved?

What's andy lutongranny going to say on Saturday, I wonder? ?

Should I say welcome back andy?

out we go totally friday, so exciting.....

Ditto, jura

Interesting take, Kapitan. I'd rather like to think we've moved on from the second World War.

I see that, having apparently lost andyc we have a new comedy act to take his place

So, Parliament in charge now?
