A petition to revoke Article 50 posted on the UK parliament’s website collected over 2.7 million signatures as of Friday.
The petition posted on Wednesday has already crashed the website due to the great number of signatures, but it got back online. According to the Petitions Committee, the rate of signing is the highest that the site has ever experienced.
A petition is considered by the Parliament for debate if it racks up more than 100, 000 signatures, and requires a government response if it has more than 10,000 signatures.
