Over 2 million Britons and UK residents have kicked against the planned exist of Unite Kingdom from the European Union, and have signed a petition calling for a second vote,forcing lawmakers to at least consider a debate on the issue.
Prime Minister David Cameron, had earlier said that there would be no second memorandum if Britain decides to leave the E.U, but there are strong indications that Parliament would have to consider a debate, following the policy that any petition posted on its website that attracts more than 100,000 signatures would be considered for debate.
The proposal, posted before the June 23 referendum, said the government should hold another plebiscite on EU membership if the support for Leave or Remain in a referendum was less than 60 percent in a turnout of under 75 percent of eligible voters.
The result on Thursday saw 52 percent of voters, 17,410,742 people, back a British exit, on a turnout of 72 percent.
Since then, the petition which only British citizens or UK residents have the right to sign was proving so popular that by 1725 GMT on Saturday, 2,005,101 people had signed it.
By late afternoon, it appeared to be rising at a rate of more than 3,000 signatures a minute.
Most of those who signed were based in areas where support for staying in the EU was strongest, most especially London, the website indicated.
