It clearly won't happen in a petition like this one but one can only wish for such a symbolic moment!!
Only problem with that petition is people who live in other countries have been signing it as well.
That's funny because before I digitally signed it a question that is asked is if the petitioner is a UK citizen + UK address + e mail address. I'm assuming that is how officials can track where the petitioning "hot spots" are in the UK.

What is gonna change on a "meaningful vote" next week anyway??I think it is the case that The Speaker, John Bercow, reiterates his stance re a 3rd vote with no change!!! I concur with Nicola Sturgeon's line that, in view of this utter chaos and crisis, Article 50 be revoked and "be done with it"!! Absolutely 100%!! DO IT!!!!!

And it now appears that a 3rd MF may not happen next week anyway. If that is the case, what is the new way forward?? What is the alternative plan requested by the EU? Option C , a general election or a 2nd referendum or end Brexit and revoke Article 50?
