And what exactly did the previous 6 million plus votes achieve in the 'Revoke Article 50' petition? If you're going to protest against something,at least get out there and do something that might actually get those in power to sit up and take notice. An on-line petition is todays equivalent of pre social medias 'A strongly worded letter to the BBC',with about as much impact on the situation.

Parliament suspension sparks furious backlash



The prime minister's decision to suspend Parliament has prompted an angry backlash from MPs and opponents of a no-deal Brexit.
It sparked protests across the country, a legal challenge and a petition with more than a million signatures.
The government said the five-week suspension in September and October will still allow time to debate Brexit.
Leader of the House Jacob Rees-Mogg said opponents of the PM were "phoney" and just wanted to stay in the EU.
He told BBC Breakfast that Parliament would normally head into a recess for the party conferences in September anyway - adding there would still be time to debate Brexit in the Commons before the scheduled departure date of 31 October.

Brexit fightback begins as MPs rush to block 'tinpot' Boris Johnson next week
MPs exploded into civil war as Labour and Tory rebels rush through laws against no-deal Brexit, a million back a petition, protesters march on No10, Gina Miller goes to court - and Jacob Rees-Mogg branded the outrage 'phoney'



The fightback against Boris Johnson exploded into life today as MPs vowed to rush through a bid to block the "tinpot" PM's no-deal Brexit
Labour and other opposition MPs will force laws against no-deal through Parliament - just before Mr Johnson shuts down the Commons for a month.


And they look set to be joined by Tory Remainer rebels, who are furious at their leader's "coup" of shutting the doors from September 12 to October 14.
Tory MP Oliver Letwin said he will "certainly" back legislating next week as talks between other Conservatives reportedly went on until 2am.
Tory veteran Ken Clarke accused Boris Johnson of "blatant lies" and vowed to back legislation next week. Former Chancellor Philip Hammond added: “A number of my colleagues would have preferred to wait ... and move in late September. That will now not be possible. We will have to try to do something when parliament returns next week."

It came as protesters marched on No10 to demand an end to the coup amid a million-signature petition and two official legal fights to block it.

Campaigner Gina Miller last night applied for a judicial review in the High Court as she branded Mr Johnson's prorogation of Parliament "illegal".
Seeking an emergency hearing next week and an "interim injunction", she said prorogation itself was legal - but the "intention and effect" to shut down democracy was not.

Yes I understand that but what was the outcome of the Parliamentary debate,has it even taken place yet? I'm all for protesting and taking a stand for whatever people believe in but if it changes nothing,then it may be time to up the ante.

No, the petition was only started yesterday.

Many people will feel that Boris has acted undemocratically, and resort to any means to thwart him.

Waste of time and energy, that could be better spent doing things with a chance of a positive outcome

That may well be the case, although I am in favour of leaving no stone unturned, when it comes to avoiding no deal.
A petition leading to a Parliamentary debate/vote on proroguing parliament can do no harm, neither could a court case with a view to stopping it.
