Has it really crashed, or are there darker forces at work to reduce the voting volumes?
Am I overthinking this, but WD has gone missing

yes it's really crashing off and on due to the traffic overload. The site settings should be changed imo. Currently they have it on auto refresh so that the number of signatures automatically update. Under normal circumstances that wouldn't be a problem, but with this high volume of traffic it is a problem. The webmaster should disable the auto update and set it to manual refresh. That would go a long way to helping the page cope with the extraordinary high volume of traffic imo

And it's been down almost as much as it has been up. I wonder how that compares to other similarly high profile campaigns, and I also wonder how TM can state that she is doing the will of the people - plainly, 'The people' do not have a single collective will.

Petitions CommitteeVerified account @HoCpetitions 17m17 minutes agoA lot of people have been asking about numbers. Between 80,000 and 100,000 people have been simultaneously viewing the petition to revoke article 50. Nearly 2,000 signatures are being completed every minute.
Petitions CommitteeVerified account @HoCpetitionsThe rate of signing is the highest the site has ever had to deal with and we have had to make some changes to ensure the site remains stable and open for signatures and new petitions. Thanks for bearing with us.

Apparently they are saying not to keep looking at the total as it blocking the system.

I don't think anyone thinks that likely, but it is interesting to compare against the other petitions related to Brexit, and see the massive difference in public opinion here.
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions?q=brexit
Final deal Referendum 145k
Leave immediately 142k
People's vote if parliament reject the deal 137k
etc.
and then we have today's, which is probably going to get through 1 million in the first full day since it was launched. That's a serious raising of the bar and reflects a very strong public opinion.

Don't worry chaps.
When Jacob starts his leave with no deal petition, he will have seven kids with numerous email accounts to ghost vote with..

Nothing like telling a little white lie as to why they don't want to back it.

Shame Remain didn't vote with the same fervour 3 years ago .
If we all knew then what we knew now, I suspect the result would have been very different.

Yep, Project Fear from the likes of Mr Cameron and Mr Osborne ( and our own dear Mrs May ) didn't strike the right note did it?Shame Remain didn't vote with the same fervour 3 years ago .
The only thing they did right was obey electoral law and not tell great big whopping lies.
Sorry I took the bait, couldn't stop myself!
The fact that the EU and many MPs who are staunch Remainers have done their level best to thwart the result of the Referendum and to stop Brexit, would make me more determined than ever to vote Leave again.
And I am unanimous in that.
