Not to mention that the figure is inflated due to abuse, i.e has been signed multiple times by the same persons. That is why we don't measure democracy via Online Petitions that can be easily manipulated and open to abuse.

I’m not using the figure to give weight to remaining, I’m saying if you break it down by constituency there’s a huge gulf between Labour constituencies (with the most and least signatories). Making a single manifesto pledge, for a party that didn’t win an election, rather irrelevant to it’s electorate.
