Well I got a letter from my local authority a couple of weeks ago, asking me to confirm my details for the electoral register, which I finally got around to yesterday. I suggest that many other authorities have probably done this.
Doesn’t necessarily mean there’s been a massive rush just on this issue.

Absolutely not, any re-running of the referendum should be an exact replica of the original with the exact same question as the original.
Everybody now knows what connotations are behind any Leave vote, and may include a deal or not.
But the question has to be the same, if it ever happens.

Although they likely wouldn't count as a registation unless you added someone to the register whose eligible to vote I don't think.
What the figure there probably does include is people who registered despite already being eligible. You can register over and over again and it just works. They advise doing it just in case you aren't as there .

In which case the level shouldn't be that unusual but it is.
From my previous link.
Quote:
Sym Roe, from the non-profit Democracy Club, says although there are usually spikes in registrations when students heading to university have to re-apply with their new address, these stats are "quite unusual".
"Compared to other years this is several times bigger than what we would expect for early September.
|
The figures shot up starting the 1st Sept. Before that the daily figures peaked around 20,000.
Government stats.

Re: PM Boris forms a government
The question on the last referendum was "leave or remain" I thought it was pretty clear it wasn't Leave, remain or leave with a deal.
If people who voted leave were under the assumption that we would leave the EU under the same deal as a member need to live with that vote they put pen to paper and should have maybe spent a bit of time thinking about it so it's not my problem.
Imagine if we did this during the election they wouldn't allow it

It's clearly your problem as we haven't left yet and each time a new deadline is given, it is extended.
If Vote Leave and Leave.EU had put more energy into supporting the kind of deal they promised then we wouldn't be in the current situation.

When was Vote Leave and Leave.EU at the official negotiations?
I’ll give you a clue shall I?
Was on probably on the 12th. Some time in “Never”.
How the hell are people who weren’t responsible for cooking up a deal, to accept it?

Re: PM Boris forms a government
BREAKING: Prime Minister Boris Johnson to have dinner with her Majesty, the Queen tonight at Balmoral.
To be a fly on the wall during this event.... possible discussions...
1) Ask Queen to dissolve Parliament for potential election, ignore Common law, she cannot be challenged if she did.
2) Ask Queen to deny Royal Assent to Remainer Anti-No deal Bill, expected to clear all stages tonight.
3) Inform her of his intentions to resign at some later date. Given his lack of government power in Parliament.
