Hm. More news about the new referendum. First: apparently someone is running a bot and flooding the signatures; last I heard some 80K had been removed for being obviously bogus, and more were probably in the offing. Even so, the referendum is at 3.9 million now. Second: The do-over referendum was started by a Leave partisan several months ago, when it looked like Leave was going to lose. He's not happy that it's been hijacked by the other side since the vote. Third: apparently it doesn't matter. The referendum would amount to an ex post facto law if it passed Parliament, which means it can't happen by the rules of Parliament and (IIRC) the Magna Carta. Also, as far as the EU is concerned there's no do-overs either -- they want the UK to invoke article 50 ASAP now that the vote is done, no spending time working out how to separate first.
