The most signed petition was ahead of the referendum, attracted 4,150,262 signatures and stated:
"We the undersigned call upon HM Government to implement a rule that if the remain or leave vote is less than 60% based a turnout less than 75% there should be another referendum."
The government overrode it. Hence current shitshow prevails and doesn't bode well for the petition to be heeded.
Not quite right I think. That petition was started before the referendum by a leaver, fearing losing and wanting the chance to have another say. It was almost unsigned until after the referendum, when it was signed on mass by remainers cross that they'd lost....the government had to ignore it because by then the horse had bolted.

I just checked the parliament site for petitions to check how significant the current one to revoke A50 is in terms of number of signatories.
Already it is the third largest historically (from the e-petition stats), and at the rate it's growing should surpass the second (which was a petition to veto Trump's visit).
