Interesting E U Petition
> 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.
Already got over 100,000 signatures, which means that it will be considered for Parliamentary debate.
Even though I voted Remain, I think this is a bad idea.

ELLIPSIS , yes I am in Corby and there is a flaw in the petition wording. If the turnout is 75% there could be a 50.1%/49.9% vote and there would be no need for another vote because the turnout threshold had been met even though only 37.58% of the electorate had voted for the winning option. The wording should be that 45% of the electorate has to vote for a change.

I'm fairly sure there *are* a few people who didn't quite realise that voting "leave" actually meant leaving. Leave was a protest vote too. But it's hard to imagine that around 750,000 people who voted to Leave have already changed their minds.
But anyway. Something about stable doors and horses springs to mind. I've spent the last 24 hours feeling various levels of shell-shock, but participating in a vote means accepting the legitimacy of the process and result.

In a democracy the minority rarely has the control.
It is the reaction of SOME remainers that lead to the accusations. We are all keen to ensure the future is right for our descendents. But there is major polarisation on this issue with one side failing to see how the other side could justify their view. It'll settle down in time. Everything eventually does.

If there was any likelihood of there being another referendum, David Cameron wouldn't have been so quick to go. It's a non starter, and it would seem that anybody who now feels that they should have voted differently shouldn't have voted at all. This is my one and only view on the EU debate and am quite prepared to let things take their course.
