Iran Press/Europe: Call to put the brakes on UK’s EU exit is the most popular petition ever on the parliament website, according to The Guardian.
The petition asking the British government to revoke article 50 and reconsider its plan to exit the European Union has passed the 5m-signature mark, following a massive demonstration in London on Saturday.
As of 11 pm on Sunday, 5.3m people had signed the petition, making it the most popular to have been submitted to the parliament website. The previous highest total of 4,150,260 was for a 2016 petition calling for a second referendum should the initial poll not provide a definitive enough result.
The petition continued to grow following Saturday’s march, which organizers claimed saw more than a million people take to the streets of London. 208/211/103
