Hi Ron apparently it is no longer there!

I understand that a petition triggers a Government response if it achieves 10,000 signatures in 24 hours. The re run petition had over 2,000,000 in a fraction of the time so they have taken it down as it has well exceeded the requirement and it might even initiate a debate.

I have just looked at it and it is still open

They govt may debate the petition but will not call fir a second referendum. Wishful thinking if you believe the govt will go through that again

From BBC news tonight
The fact that more than one and a half million people have signed a petition calling for a second EU referendum has attracted a lot of attention - but it has zero chance of being enacted.
The main reason is that it is asking for retrospective legislation. It suggests another referendum is required because the winning side got less than 60% of the vote, and there was less than a 75% turnout.
You can have thresholds in referendums.
The 1979 referendum to set up a Scottish parliament failed because a clause was inserted in to the legislation requiring more than 40% of all eligible voters - not just those taking part - to agree to devolution before it took place.
But that clause came in advance - everyone was clear about the rules. You can't simply invent new hurdles if you are on the losing side.
The other reason is that if a petition gets more than 100,000 signatures it can then - with the agreement of a committee of MPs - be debated in Parliament, but there is no legal obligation to act on it.
