Scrap the petition to Revoke Article 50
In the past week a petition calling for Article 50 to be revoked has passed 4 million signatures.
It has since been claimed that many of these signatures are false, many being attributed to Jacob Reece Mogg, Nigel Farage and even Her Majesty the Queen.
If many of the signatures on this petition are found to be false, then the petition should be removed immediately and an investigation started into potential fraud.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.

In any case, we already monitor petitions to check for fraudulent activity. We use a number of techniques, automated and manual, to identify and block signatures from bots, disposable email addresses or other sources that show signs of fraudulent activity. We also monitor signing patterns. For security reasons, we don’t tell people when their fraudulent activity has been unsuccessful.
We don’t comment in detail about the security measures, but all petitions are subject to checks as part of due diligence and any concerns investigated. We're therefore not sure exactly what further investigation you'd like to see.
