Neil O’Brien and Richard North’s Downing Street petition, demanding that Brown abandon ratification of the Lisbon Treaty, is now the third most popular live petition on the Downing Street site. There are currently 15,507 signatures on it which is pretty remarkable considering that it has only been up for just over 24 hours. I think the record for one of these petitions is the 1.7 million plus who signed the road pricing petition. If this one got anywhere near that it would show Brown the strength of feeling on this issue.
