The petition, which had 2,374,547 signatures shortly before 9:30 p.m. U.K. time, proposed a rule that stating if that if the "remain" or "leave" camps won less than 60 percent of the vote with less than a 75 percent turnout "there should be another referendum."
Technically, the referendum result is not legally binding because of Britain's sovereign Parliament. David Lammy MP, a member of the left-wing Labour party, called Saturday for a legislative vote on whether to remain in the EU.

Better yet, make sure are rules in place to protect the political class and usurp the power of the voters in the event a country wants to leave. IE: wiggle room, stall, weasel out, packing fudge (voters are the packee.)
What is article 50 and why is it so central to the Brexit debate?
