Online Petition: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/131215
Not to burst anyone?s bubble, but one of Britain?s top elections experts says a re-run of the EU referendum is pretty unlikely any time soon.
An online petition calling for a new vote has got more than 1.5 million signatures since Thursday and that number is growing fast.
But Professor John Curtice, whose exit poll was the only one to predict the Conservatives would win last year?s general election, advises not to hold your breath on another Brexit ballot.
He says the subject is so divisive within mainstream political parties and their supporters that it would be unlikely to form a campaigning issue for some time ? let alone spark another public vote.
Thursday?s referendum saw 17.4 million (51.9%) votes cast to leave the EU, compared with 16.1 million (48.1%) for remaining part of the bloc, with a turnout of 72.2%, according to the Electoral Commission.
Curtice said: ?How many people voted in favour of Leave? Seventeen million. One million is chicken feed by comparison.
?It?s no good people signing the petition now, they should have done it before. Even then, these petitions don?t always mean a great deal.
