PROTESTERS calling for a rerun of the historic EU in/out referendum who swamped London's streets today and yesterday have already secured a Parliamentary debate over the issue.
Thousands of demonstrators hit the capital's streets and those of Edinburgh today as part of the f**k Bexit rally, banners with slogans such as "I'm not leaving", "Yes 2 EU", and others saying the older generation had 'stolen our future'.
But as the demos went ahead, an online petition, calling for another vote hit the 1.8 million signatures mark today, meaning there will have to be a commons debate.
It is the most successful petition ever to be launched on the Parliament website.
Any petition that gets more than 100,000 names, must be debated by the house.
Record turn outs saw 33.5million people take part in Thursday's referendum, and the Leave campaign won by taking 51.9 per cent of the vote to 48.1 per cent for remain — a
margin of 1,269,501 votes.
But, remain campaigners have argued the Government should null and void the current result and re-stage the vote because the winning vote for Leave was less than 60 per cent and overall turnout, despite being high, was less than 75 per cent.
The House of Commons Petitions committee will have to consider staging a debate in Parliament on the proposals for a second referendum, or why there should not be another one.
One protester, Harriet Barclay, poured fake blood over herself in protest at the EU Referendum result.
Meanwhile, a poll carried out for The Times at Glastonbury music festival found 78 per cent had voted before setting off, with 83 per cent of those surveyed saying they
backed Remain and just 16 per cent supporting Brexit.
Labour Vote remain supporter MP Mike Gapes has rejected calls for a second referendum, saying we must "accept the result".
