Possibly. Petitions do not have a very good record of getting results.
However, the turnout is unusually high, which should send a message to
Parliament about the strength of feeling on the subject.

They already know the strength of feeling on the subject - 16m people have
just put an X in the box to let them know, just like 17m put their X in the
box to let them know the opposite.


If the feeling was as strong as you say, why hasn't the petition got 16m
signatures? - the answer is that the majority of them know they've been beat
and accept it, you should too

the answer is that the petition itself is obviously a waste of time but
the business is totally unfinished. This has been an idiot's referendum
won by lies and lost by arrogance, no kind of a mandate and a
catastrophe for the UK. Mark my words.
