Interesting yes, but I doubt its accuracy. 4m didn't actually want out? Where does he get that figure from? Apparently there was an online petition within two weeks of the referendum asking for a second vote. It was signed by over 4 million. He was I think, suggesting that some portion (upto 4 million) were out voters, who now regretted their decision. Rog It was discovered that a lot of the signatures were repeat votes votes from abroad etc it was completely discredited so nothing happened with it.

The wording was also fundamentally flawed as it was petitioning to have a threshold retrospectively applied to the result, which was never going to happen.

Wasn't it also actually set up by a brexiteer in anticipation of a loss...
Yes, it was.

Which is quite right, since it is not the normal way to have scores retrospectively applied to events, be they football matches or eu referendums.

Even so, it was badly worded and useless, as are most petitions.

As this poll shows the majority believe Hillary will be the next US president, Donald will say it has been rigged. 😊

I've got a horrible feeling that Trump will win. I notice that few people have been vocal about which candidate they are backing. I suspect they are voting Trump but are embarrassed to admit it.

I would think in Texas it would be the opposite, that people voting democratic would be the ones who wouldn't want to tell anyone.

Texas generally yes, but not Austin........Place is full of old Hippies and California transplants.

Looks like Trump will be the next president.
Not the best end to a political career for Hilary, but it's down to her really.
