From Brexit to #Regrexit --
Per CNN:
An online petition demanding a second referendum on Britain's decision to leave the EU has passed 2 million signatures.
The petition, set up by William Oliver Healey, states: "We the undersigned call upon [the UK] Government to implement a rule that if the Remain or Leave vote is less than 60%, based on a turnout less than 75%, there should be another referendum."Ben Howlett, a Conservative MP confirmed on twitter that the petition would be discussed by the House of Commons petitions Select Committee on Tuesday.
That news came as some voters who had backed the "Leave" campaign took to Twitter to register their regret -- adopting the #Regrexit hashtag.

Lesson from #Regrexit Never use your vote as a protest vote, only ever vote for what you actually want.

Re: From Brexit to #Regrexit --
WTF Brits? Do you now think that your vote really does count and perhaps you should have voted differently?
Let this be a lesson to US voters. There are better ways to protest besides a protest vote which actually counts

Re: From Brexit to #Regrexit --
I agree Brave...Over 2 million Brits are now regretting the way they voted...Our markets went down and most people lost a lot of money in their investments, worldwide. Too late to regret the chaos they caused....I read today that they want a new referendum ....whatever that means??
We have some states here (TEXAS) that always threatens to secede ....and what would they do without those Federal dollars.....
People need to think before they vote for something as crazy as this.....the grass isn't always greener on the other side. And they may REGRET it!

CHRIS CUOMO (HOST): Break into Donald Trump's statement right now which is not something we often do but it's very remarkable at this point because of what he hasn't mentioned yet. Donald Trump has been up at the podium for about five minutes, has not mentioned Brexit, is only talking about his golf course and his other business ventures and how it came to be. Let's discuss why he would make this choice and what the implications are.
TRUMP: Blah, blah, blah, my golf course is fabulous, blah, blah, I'm fabulous, it's beautiful, it's grand it's great, blah, blah, blah...
JOHN AVALON: This is insane. The presumptive Republican nominee has the world watching on a historic day and he is doing a five minute advertorial for his golf course in great detail, talking about the beauty of the suites, how great the pars are on certain holes, not talking about Brexit. This is a summation in some ways of his campaign. He is in the right place at the right time for his message, and he blows it because at the end of the day, it's all about him. He seems to be trying to profit off a presidential run and not taking it seriously. This is trump steaks all over again after winning the primaries. It's completely insane.
ALISYN CAMEROTA (HOST): David, is that how you see it?
DAVID GREGORY: I think John understates the importance of adding suites to the lighthouse. But I totally -- I mean, look, we spent all this time analyzing the potential significance of the parallels with his own campaign. We spent all of this time highlighting parallels of the campaign and way out ahead of where Donald Trump's campaign is. I'm shocked that, even given his statements, that he didn't come out and immediately seize on the importance of this. Maybe he wanted to inject a note of caution by not getting involved. But no, this just seems like political malpractice. I'm as bemused as everyone else looking at this thinking how strange this is
