A petition calling for a General Election with only three million or so signatures when Labour got 9,708,716 votes in July can’t succeed. But should it keep accelerating, all that could change. If it garnered more signatures than the votes Labour obtained in the GE, say about 10million, there is all to play for. That number would be equivalent to 20 per cent of all those who are registered to vote (48,208,507). And that, it could be argued, would justify calling a General Election.
Where people reside or are domicile is irrelevant, each one has to fulfil specific conditions for which they have been vetted, so it is perfectly legal to vote.
Did you complain gulliver of those people abroad who voted for the Labour Party?
"Feel sorry really for the Tory Abers on here who had pinned their hopes on this petition, of getting this Labour Govt with such a *huge majority* who kicked the Tories down the road into Opposition Street,,,removed from power."
Can you point us to anybody on here who "pinned their hopes" on that? Virtually everybody on here accepts that, bar some very exceptional circumstances that are unlikely to occur, the country will suffer a Labour government until the summer of 2029. What makes you think anybody pinned their hopes on the petition securing a General Election?
it is quite possible to vote fraudulently in petitions. all you need is a valid e-mail address and postcode. such a person would also register as being from the UK regardless of where they actually were.
i seem to recall tories getting very hot under the collar about the possibility of voter fraud. they are quite relaxed about it when it suits them. as usual, tories believe in absolutely nothing.
Its impact is in the fact that it reminded us all that this has been the worst government in history in the shortest time. The PM felt moved enough to comment, he would have ignored it if it was having no effect. I suspect behind closed doors Labour will be having a good hard look. Never has popularity plummeted so completly so quickly even among their own core voters. Of course like all petitions they have very little direct impact but they do at least raise awareness.
"i seem to recall tories getting very hot under the collar about the possibility of voter fraud. they are quite relaxed about it when it suits them."
There's a considerable difference beween showing concern for the integrity of voting (especially) in Parliamentary elections and showing concern for the integrity of a petition which, apart from possibly taking up ten minutes of Parliament's time, will have no impact whatsoever.
