Even the petition itself is a good thing to allow disapproval to be expressed but in our democracy petitions are just that and do not need to be followed. I would disagree with a petition to overturn a public vote though, so a large group of people "vote again" the same way they voted before - so what? If it was simply a parliamentary vote on leaving then yes, petition away but not on a referendum.
Fat chance that he'll notice anything except if the crowds aren't as big as for former US presidents..
