So It Was Just Another Dirty Con Trick Then .

[gulliver1]

The Valadity of a petition demanding a General Election was a put up job then ,after dicovering many of the people who signed this  petition are from  people living in Spain and other EU Countries, also Australia UAE and many other Countries around the World ,even China.Just another Con job.There is NO Way this petition will trigger a GE .So it's back to the drawing board for the Opposition party then 🤔!

The fact that this site tolerates trolls, that it allows and encourages the blatant spreading of lies (in this case in the title), that it allows patently false statements in the posts to remain and repeatedly allows the same person to make unfounded and derogatory statements is a mockery of its own Site Rules. Sad, because this was once a legitimate question and answer site.

//this petition was signed by so many people from other Countries//

Is that right? Out of interest how many of the 2.8 million (may well be over 3 million now) were from other countries? As the threshold is only 100000 then maybe 2.7 million were from foreigners. Thanks for updating us. I believe you but there are some sceptics on here so may be a link will make them apologise for doubting you.😁"

As I said on page 1 less than 20000 of the nearly 3m are from outside the country, the JSON Shows it, the OP is in a complete idiot: https://ibb.co/HP2jDxP

Thanks TTT, although I knew that really. Fewer than 1% are from overseas (perhaps not far out of line from the proportion of GE voters who were expats)

Why are people getting upset about it? It's just an opinion poll really, the government will just ignore it anyway.

I don't think folks are upset about the petition per se. They fully understand its purpose & likely (lack of) impact. The upset is with the spin that the OP tries to put on it with his usual twisted outlook. We shouldn't rise to the bait - but hey....

[dave50]

So what's the latest scores on the doors Isla?

[davebro3]

2,914,100 signatures & still rising
