How many people were on the Peoples’ Vote March for Populism?
The People’s Vote March was about walking for another referendum – this one intended to upset the result of the EU referendum. On June 23, 2016, 17.4 million voted for Britain to end its membership of the EU; 16.1 million wanted Britain to remain. How many people were on the streets of London in support of giving us another go? The number matters to the protestors because – get this – this was a march for populism:
500,000
Just heard that the Met said there were more like 500,000 in #PeoplesVoteMarch today. Can anyone confirm this? If it's true surely @theresa_may can't ignore so many and get away with it…….

“Hundreds of Thousands”
What will your abiding memory of June 23rd now be? The year of that fatal referendum result? Or 2018 when hundreds of thousands marched through London and turned the tide against Brexit? #PeoplesVoteMarch #StopBrexitSaturday pic.twitter.com/7KvSfdqYFf
