These petitions are utterly pointless. Has there ever been a case where something has changed due to one of these petitions?

Also, the government responded to this back in November:

The Government was elected on a manifesto that made clear there will be no return to EU membership. However, we are determined to reset the UK-EU relationship, putting it on a more solid footing.

And honestly they are correct. Any attempt to rejoin now. Especially based on a partition with well under the 16m voters figure. Is only going to result in more anti EU bull and a growth in ukip like supporters.

The UK as a whole needs to accepthow fucking stupid leaving was. And rather will not happen untill we see the huge support wi originally had for joining.

Below that we will just repeatedly have people feeling forced one way or the other constantly refusing to partake in the spirit of the EU.

EEA is the best we will get and even that will be a fight for some time.
