More than 2.5 million and rising sign UK petition for new EU referendum

LONDON, Jun 26 (Reuters) Just days after voting to leave the European Union, more than 2.5 million Britons and UK residents had signed a petition calling for a second vote, forcing lawmakers to at least consider a debate on the issue.
Parliament has to consider a debate on any petition posted on its website that attracts more than 100,000 signatures.
The proposal, posted before the June 23 referendum, said the government should hold another plebiscite on EU membership if the support for Leave or Remain in a referendum was less than 60 percent in a turnout of under 75 per cent of eligible voters.
