Raise profile
[align=left]The petitions website states it was set up by an individual called William Oliver Healey, and says: "We the undersigned call upon HM Government to implement a rule that if the Remain or Leave vote is less than 60%, based on a turnout less than 75%, there should be another referendum."[/align][align=left]Thursday saw a 72.2% turnout, significantly higher than the 66.1% turnout at last year's general election, but below the 75% mark suggested by Mr Healey as a threshold.[/align][align=left]A debate in Parliament is a good way to raise the profile of an issue with law makers but it does not automatically follow that there will be a change in the law.[/align][color=inherit][font=inherit][img=624,1]http://ichef-1.bbci.co.uk/news/624/media/images/66239000/gif/_66239292_line2.gif[/img][/font][/color]Analysis[color=inherit][font=inherit][img=624,351]http://ichef-1.bbci.co.uk/news/624/cpsprodpb/3DF3/production/_90095851_petition_2.jpg[/img][color=inherit][font=inherit]Image copyright[/font][/color][color=rgb(236, 236, 236)][font=inherit][size=0.75]UK GOVERNMENT[/font][/color][/font][/color][align=left][b]By Iain Watson, political correspondent[/b][/align][align=left]The fact that more than one and a half million people have signed a petition calling for a second EU referendum has attracted a lot of attention - but it has zero chance of being enacted.[/align][align=left]The main reason is that it is asking for retrospective legislation. It suggests another referendum is required because the winning side got less than 60% of the vote, and there was less than a 75% turnout.[/align][align=left]You can have thresholds in referendums.[/align][align=left]The 1979 referendum to set up a Scottish parliament failed because a clause was insertxxxed in to the legislation requiring more than 40% of all eligible voters - not just those taking part - to agree to devolution before it took place.[/align][align=left]But that clause came in advance - everyone was clear about the rules. You can't simply invent new hurdles if you are on the losing side.[/align][align=left]The other reason is that if a petition gets more than 100,000 signatures it can then - with the agreement of a committee of MPs - be debated in Parliament, but there is no legal obligation to act on it.[/align][align=left]However, there is talk around Westminster- in the wake of a plunging currency and falling share prices - of whether any deal on Brexit negotiated with the EU should then be put to a referendum further down the line.[/align][align=left]The UK will remain an EU member for the next two years at least - so it's not over until it's over.[/align][align=left]Some would greet this with horror and cries of 'foul' - others with relief.[/align][color=inherit][font=inherit][img=624,1]http://ichef-1.bbci.co.uk/news/624/media/images/66239000/gif/_66239292_line2.gif[/img][/font][/color][align=left]The Scottish independence referendum in 2014 had a turnout of 84.6% - but there has not been a turnout above 75% at any general election since 1992.[/align][align=left]The petition site temporarily went down following "exceptionally high volumes of simultaneous users on a single petition, significantly higher than on any previous occasion", a House of Commons spokeswoman said.[/align][align=left]Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn rejected the idea of a second referendum, saying: "We have got to accept that decision."[/align][color=inherit][font=inherit][img=976,549]http://ichef-1.bbci.co.uk/news/624/cpsprodpb/2F6B/production/_90093121_mediaitem90093118.jpg[/img][color=inherit][font=inherit]Image copyright[/font][/color][color=rgb(236, 236, 236)][font=inherit][size=0.75]REUTERS[/font][/color][/font][/color][color=inherit][font=inherit]Image caption[/font][/color][color=rgb(236, 236, 236)][font=inherit][size=0.8125]David Cameron said he would step down as prime minister after the UK voted to leave the EU[/font][/color][align=left]UKIP leader Nigel Farage, who has campaigned for the UK to leave the EU throughout his political career, said in May that a narrow win for Remain could cause [color=rgb(34, 34, 34)][font=inherit][size=1][b][url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-eu-referendum-36306681]unstoppable demand for a rerun of the referendum.[/url][/b][/size][/font][/color][/align][align=left]He said at the time that a result that saw Remain win by 52% to 48% would mean "unfinished business by a long way".[/align][align=left]But Mr Cameron has said the referendum was a "once in a generation, once in a lifetime" decision, saying the UK had "referendums not neverendums".[/align][align=left]The parliamentary petitions system is overseen by the Petitions Committee, which considers whether petitions that receive more than 100,000 signatures should be raised in the House of Commons and debated.[/align][align=left]The committee is due to sit again on Tuesday.[/align]'Make divorce official'[align=left]In a separate petition more than 100,000 people have called on London Mayor Sadiq Khan to declare the English capital independent from the UK and apply to join the EU.[/align][align=left]Across all 33 boroughs in London 59.9% of people [color=rgb(34, 34, 34)][font=inherit][size=1][b][url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-eu-referendum-36612916]voted to stay in the EU[/url][/b][/size][/font][/color], with the Remain vote more than 70% in some boroughs.[/align][align=left]The page, set up by James O'Malley, states: "London is an international city, and we want to remain at the heart of Europe.
