I'm quite glad so many people have signed it, and that it is getting lots of media coverage, because of the clear signal that sends to politicians about the extent of unhappiness with the outcome. But yeah, it didn't really feel right for me to sign it personally, because I didn't feel comfortable calling for a retrospective change in the rules on the grounds that I didn't like the outcome. I never wanted this stupid referendum in the first place, and I think it was epically irresponsible of Cameron to hold it, but once the rules have been defined, you have to play by them.
