You could try the EU way of doing things - Keep having referenda until you get the answer you want! Like they did with the Lisbon treaty.

As was said on this mornings Andrew Marr program "The referendum did not divide the Country. It was already divided! Just so happens that the silenced have spoken this time."

As Winston Churchill once said

"Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time."
(from a House of Commons speech on Nov. 11, 1947)

This is Democracy yes it sucks when it doesn't go the way you had hoped, but no matter how much petitioning it will not change the outcome

Isn't there another way we could stop people's vote counting? Perhaps only giving the vote to people who earn over a certain amount?

To my knowledge, a referendum is not binding in of itself, it's advisory. If the majority of voters believed what they were told by the likes of Farage and Johnson, they were simply misled. So, the result should be nulled, to give those who were duped, or believed they were just giving the government a poke in the eye (by THEIR OWN admission), the opportunity to think again.

There are so many interesting national leaders lost for words, or at least for an idea of how to progress with ideas of how to challenge the Leave result in the context of national concern for the effect, and there is ample evidence that many Leave voters voted Ot as a protest. Europe wants Article 50 quickly, yet if we move smartly, carefully, we can regain confidence and find a way forward and out of this disaster. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/131215

Rosemary, I think we are at the moment when Horror at the outcome turns to Terror at the reality. The Petition is an immediate 'big hit' gaining 5,000 new signatories every two minutes. It should get to 2 million signatories by this evening, one million newly signining since 10am this morning. the Parliamentary Committee which considers petitions meets on Tuesday, many major figures and well-known names are signing, Glastonbury is talking about it and the number signing could accelerate.
There are now 4 areas Vote leave are backtracking on, and their is a high record of regret now being voiced by those who voted Leave.

If you are horrified by the outcome, there is something you can do. There is a gov.org Petition that you can sign to re-play the vote. This is off the website, quote.
