MORE THAN 2,000 people have in Salisbury have signed the petition launched calling for Prime Minister Theresa May to revoke Article 50 and remain in the EU.
According to the website petitionmap, which shows users by numbers and percentage how many people in each constituency have signed the petition in the last two days, 2.25 per cent of constituents (2,101 out of 93,383) in Salisbury have signed the petition at the time of writing.
This is higher than the national average, with most constituencies seeing less than than 2 per cent.
The heat map also shows the constituencies with the highest number of signatories, including seats in Bristol, Edinburgh, Manchester, Oxford, London, Cambridge and Brighton.
Parliament's petitions committee tweeted yesterday that the rate of signatures was "the highest the site has ever had to deal with", after the website crashed.
The 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.
