A petition on the parliament website calling for a rerun of theEU referendum has gathered nearly 3 million signatures since being launched at the end of last week.
This means  the campaign has overtaken the 2007 Downing Street petition urging the Government to abandon plans for pay as you go road pricing which attracted 1.8 million signatures. Many of those signing the petition demanding a referendum rerun came from major cities.
The petition, set up by William Oliver Healey, said: “We the undersigned call upon HM Government to implement a rule that if the Remain or Leave vote is less than 60% based on a turnout less than 75%, there should be another referendum.”
Already one senior Labour MP, David Lammy, has urged fellow MPs to ignore the result of the Referendum which he said was advisory rather than binding on Parliament.
