London (CNN)From Brexit to #Regrexit -- an online petition demanding a second referendum on Britain's decision to leave the EU is nearing 1.5 million signatures.
By Saturday morning, 1,489,743 people had signed the petition on the official UK Parliament website. That number takes it well over the 100,000-signature threshold needed to force a debate on the issue by members of Parliament.
A rush to sign the petition caused the website to crash temporarily due to the high volume of traffic.

It may be the same Germans who sell us their turbines, steam system components, cooling system components, or control systems, also do so to nuclear systems. They just bundled all together.

Caribbean comments on BREXIT implications
The world awoke to the news that the United Kingdom had voted to leave the European Union this morning. The Caribbean, the United Kingdom and the countries which make up the European Union have a long and storied past, which stretches back several hundred years; changes in the relationships between any of these parties have always affected all.
We collected comments from Economists, Government ministers and other officials to find out how they believe the UK’s leave vote will impact the Caribbean region and CARICOM.
Here’s what they had to say…
It will have far reaching implications for the region in the short and medium according to Trinidadian Economist Ian Narine.
Narine said: “At the end of the day, certainly from a UK perspective, they effectively have to settle themselves first. There isn't very much clarity, even the Prime Minister has resigned which would come into effect in October and there is a whole host of transitions that have to take place there."
It is expected to have a negative impact on the Barbados’ economy in the short-term.
President of the Barbados’ Economic Society, Jeremy Stephen said: “For Barbados, in the short term it will have a very negative impact, mainly in terms of tourism spend.”
“That means the average tourist that comes to Barbados to stay in the latter half of the year would have to spend at least 10 per cent more just to enjoy the same level of goods and services they were afforded [prior to] yesterday.
“That coupled with the anticipated slight rise in the price of oil and increase of interest rates towards the latter half of 2016 doesn’t bode well for our economy in terms of foreign reserves.”
In Dominica Prime Minister, Roosevelt Skerrit said he was shocked at the move and acknowledged repercussions would be felt almost immediately in there.
“It’s a major shock that has hit the world and it has been felt in Dominica from last night… The decision to leave the EU is going to have major, major impact to developing economies like ours which rely heavily on development assistance from the EU,” he stated, adding that this is due to the fact that the priorities and the focus of the EU are going to change to see how it restructures without Britain.”
“So the focus now will be within the EU rather than outside the EU and matters relating to the relationship of the EU with the rest of the developing world, Dominica included,” the Prime Minister said.
Trade and investment flows will be negatively affected according to Executive Director of the Caribbean Council, David Jessop, who commented on what the vote meant for the CARIFORUM EPA.
“The Caribbean will be affected in a number of ways. These include a possible negative impact on trade and development flows; a diminution in the region’s ability to influence thinking on its policy concerns in Europe; a specific range of problems for the UK’s overseas territories in the region; and a long period of uncertainty as Britain’s foreign, trade and development policy is reoriented.
“British withdrawal could also have wider consequences, for example for Europe’s future relationship with the African Caribbean and Pacific grouping of states, and accelerate the EU’s general trend towards dialogue with Latin America and the Caribbean as a single region, rather than two distinct blocs,” Jessop said in an article on the Antillean Media Group.
“Jamaica and the UK share a strong historical bond of friendship and cooperation…” according to Jamaican Foreign Affairs Minister Kamina Johnson Smith, who congratulated the United Kingdom on a free and fair referendum, while acknowledging that some a lot will change with the move.
“Notwithstanding, we trust that renewed efforts will be made to strengthen and expand the Jamaica-UK partnership in all areas, not least in relation to trade, investment and development cooperation,” the Minister said in a statement.
Guyana’s Foreign Affairs Minister Carl Greenidge says they don’t anticipate any immediate impacts from the vote. Greenidge told the Demerara Waves “There is not likely to be any adverse short term consequence by way of a curtailing of resource flows or curtailment of access of let’s say sugar or any other commodity into the European Union whatever may be the case in relation to Britain.”
Britain joined the European Economic Community, the predecessor of the European Union, in 1973. In a 1975 referendum, more than 67 percent voted to remain.

I think if the UK can manage to not break up they will be completely fine.
They are a very large market for European goods so they will get a very good trade deal with the single market economy.

Ppl forgetting the UK still has the commonwealth which is greater than EU.
EU was Hitler master plan to dominate Europe, he tried it by force and fail and then Germanys predecessors tired a new approach of financial strangulation which is working for them.
Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Albania, Switzerland, Turkey, Russia, Macedonia and Montenegro are not in the EU
